shopping for a scalable php framework

Thanks for your reply! I totally agree that it is best to test in target environment. I just thought that these ratios could give me a rough idea of the performance penalty of using the framework. I ran the same series of tests on our development server. It probably have similar capabilities to your macbook. Here's what I got:

static hello world page -> 6500 rps
<?php print "hello world" ?> -> 4000 rps
retrieve one db row -> 1750 rps

CI hello world -> 170 rps
CI retrieve one db row -> 106 rps

I am actually getting comparitively worse performance on the server. Instead of a 10X slowdown, I'm getting more like 20X.

I'm sure there are some configuration things I could be doing. Are you doing anything special to get 500 rps no your laptop, toolwieldingape? Thanks.
