Does CI4 is as fast as CI3 or it is under testing?

I'm also happy  with CI4 performance. But looking the toolbar says "80 files" worries me. Also I've encounter php error on my controller script and saw call stack up to 12 rows. While usually saw 6 to 8 rows on CI3.

Anytime you're feeling bad about performance, number of files loaded, or number of queries loaded, just think about how there are so many websites using WordPress, and how terrible that is. It should make you feel better. I'm working on a WordPress website right now, and the owner has 48 active plugins. MySQL log shows that loading the home page results in 154 queries. Trust me, you could use CI4 and it's not going to be the limiting factor.
