PHP Framework Comparison (callgrind maps)

I don't see the point of this benchmark.

Was the file cache (apc) on? What features were enabled on what frameworks? Default configurations or production ready?

From my experience, raw framework speed doesn't matter much anymore. It can easily be improved by disabling features, utilizing caching, switching to SSDs, etc.

Comparing frameworks using the callgrind maps doesn't really say a thing in terms of performance. The relative weigh of parts inside the framework can be visualized, though you can not conclude by any means framework A is slower than B based in these figures.

Definitely not, but is interesting to take a look and see what's going on inside - and where each framework tends to concentrate its "energy".

It's the one that has texts with opcache (XCache) etc
