Cake has a lot of things going for it, and I mean A LOT that the other PHP frameworks don't have. However, I disagree that performance doesn't matter much. A lot of us (especially in this economy) are downsizing our servers which is one of the main reason to even look at a PHP frameworks over something like Rails. Setting up a Mongrel cloud and the CPU/Memory to back it up on a host can be an expensive proposition whereas PHP interacts with Apache directly and PHP in general is widely supported among all hosting companies. Coming from a Ruby on Rails background, this was my main draw to developing in the CakePHP framework; speed and savings due to decreased need for hardware plus added benefits of not having to re-learn techniques I've learned from years of ROR developing.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very impressed with the speed of CakePHP and the framework itself, but it is a little scary to see the performance nearly cut in half going from 1.1 to 1.2 in each of those performance tests. I hope this will not be a trend with every release. On Jan 2, 7:43 am, Mathew <nfoscar...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Also, with the cost of hardware dropping everyday.
