Backend php application (CodeIgnitor performance vs Baseline PHP)

I would think that compared to the first 4 items, item 5) performance
difference between base-php and codeigniter would be negligeable
and not noticeable at all.

I built my own Framework/CMS thing that was (and is) a full featured blog. You can see an older test of it on my own site.

In the time it takes a new CI install to render the welcome page, my system can render 5 full index pages with the recent comments, new posts, links, nav, etc. And my system took only 2Mb to do all this while CI takes 3MB just for the welcome (no db stuff at all).

Baseline PHP vs frameworks is very noticeable, I was spoiled using my system and I can't stand using sites like this that take 2.1716 - 0.434 seconds to load.

We are talking about something like 331 requests per second to 21.5 with a framework.
