Sure, I won't disagree with any of your points, but I'm choosing to not
"assume" anything. That's why we benchmark.

Rendering views is usually not a bottleneck in any application.
Even if Smarty is slow, it should still account for a just a fraction of

I'm not big on Smarty so normally I wouldn't hold you back, but I think
your intentions are misplaced.
Performance is the last thing I would worry about in this case.
Features and simplicity, that's a different story.

Are you asserting its a waste of time to see if zend view is faster than
smarty? I have my doubts about how well smarty compiles templates into
php. For more complicated templates there could be a decent difference
between the php smarty produces and what a seasoned web developer can
write using zend view. And let's not dismiss a lot of the nice feature
benefits of zend view over smarty, especially some of the integration
with other zend framework components, dojo, and the active continued
development of zend view. You have to be honest that feature wise, in
the long term, zend view is more attractive than smarty.
