Guess Lift is not all that high performance framework that they claim it to be!
Same with any of the other frameworks - some have been optimized by their fans, others are running in default configs.
Techempower should add a filter to show only frameworks that have been optimized.
That said, we have tried to not run anything in the "default" configs, but rather the "production deployment" configs if we could find documentation on that. Unfortunately there is a huge variability across frameworks in how good the "production deployment" documentation is.
I know some of these communities don't really frequent HN and Reddit, but they all frequent their mailing lists.
