Well there will always be -some- overhead of using a framework. I think that he's been using the dev environment for these benchmarks which does add a lot of extra processing that you don't normally get in the production environment. The benchmark of production environment vs "simple" PHP will not be that different. Of course it will still favour the "simple" PHP, but then we aren't using symfony to make an application run faster, we use it to enforce certain design patterns (MVC) to our projects to make them easier to extend and maintain. If performance is the number 1 priority (and all the symfony performance improvements that are available have not worked) then any framework will not be a good choice. If you are however developing an application where extensibility and maintainability is your priority then frameworks like symfony are the best choice. Its all about getting your priorities straight.
One last thing @OP, are you using a memory caching application like APC Cache? If not, this can dramatically speed up a symfony application.
