That's why I was curious and I have sent to the list that blog with the comparison between RoR and Catalyst.
You need to keep in mind that sometimes it's easier to optimize things for benchmarks than for real world applications. That happens in almost every field of computer technology: from video cards to web development frameworks. The only real way of comparing frameworks is to build a small (but complex) application using each one of them. I honestly don't know if Catalyst would perform better than the others but I think that if it performs worse, it won't be by a large margin under these conditions. Of course, no one wants to do that. People want to do quick and dirty benchmarks (and, thus, get quick and dirty results). I wish I had enough knowledge regarding RoR and Ruby so that I could perform a proper benchmark but I don't even know if it supports things such as chained actions which we take for granted when using Catalyst. Leaving performance aside, I think Catalyst is probably the best web framework out there feature-wise. And, for most people who have a clue, that's usually what really matters. -Nilson Santos F.
