Partials? Administration? Speed? ....... SYMFONY??

Codeigniter does not go as far as symfony with regards to rendering "templates". They do not implement a layout/master page. You would have to include your header/footer in your view file. Codeigniter does not generate administration/crud templates for you. you will have to write them.

Codeigniter is a lot faster than symfony1. I don't know how well it compares to symfony2 but my prediction is that it will still be faster than symfony2 which will be released in about 2 months. The reason for this is simply that codeigniter does not do as much as symfony1/2.
