Can you try benchmarking DooPHP with Rails? I found it on Dzone, another lightweight PHP framework which seems to be a lot faster than codegintor. I think Rails would be quite bloated??

OK, it didn’t let me post my PHP code lol let’s try this again.

For people who don’t like PHP because of the ugly syntax, hows this:

>?php if($something == $somethingelse): ?<

$something equals $somethingelse>/p<

>?php endif ?<

no echo statement, no nothing. Just as easy as that.

CodeIgniter is better. It runs very fast, you don’t have to use an ORM or even a full model if you don’t want to. It’s not preloaded with every upgrade that you don’t need. It’s easy as hell to upgrade and add extensions. In fact you just drop in a file and call it like any other library class. CODEIGNITER RUNS MEGA FASTER THAN RAILS AND DOESN’T REQUIRE EXPENSIVE HOSTING.

Benchmarking hello world is not very useful for 2 reasons:

– You’re not using any of the real world features of any of these
frameworks, so you’re basically just benchmarking the default
include overhead.

– Most frameworks are targeted at reducing development time, not
improving performance.

Unfortunately, similar to most of the benchmarks out there, it was only a simple Hello World test. I posted these results because I was surprised at the performance of Rails. I always assumed that CodeIgniter or other lightweight frameworks would perform faster. I am planning to do some more thorough benchmarking though, perhaps to build a real world application in two branches, one with CodeIgniter or Kohana, one with Rails. I am sure that will satisfy many of you. :)

What was the benchmark app doing? Hello World or something more? Also, CodeIgniter’s ‘efficient’? Not sure about that – perhaps relative to some other big name frameworks which are wholly unoptimized for performance it is. Is that what you meant? Thanks.
