I guess it all depends on what one is doing, naturally. In this case it is an application using the mysql database. We are using a home-grown application framework that does something very similar to this.  We use one mod_perl application to generate the XML, and another one to do the XSLT transforms.  This lets us spread the application out over our hardware nicely. If you are doing something like this, I can say you aren't wasting your time with a framework that can't scale up with your application.  It all comes down to if you would rather be creating your own framework, or using one of the many good frameworks already out there and just writing the guts of your application.
