CodeIgniter - Doctrine ORM Tutorial : A way of enhancing CI

[quote author="M4rc0" date="1259107935"]lane4, do you think using doctrine would have any performance impact on CI?

Does anybody think this could slow it down a little?

I can see the benefits of using ORM, specially for large projects, but I'm not sure if the cost for it is worth it.
Can anybody share any opinions?[/quote]

It depends on how you use it. Sometimes it even improves performance:
