Long-living PHP support (Swoole/RoadRunner etc)

If you throw an Exception at the very start of some Controller in CI you will see stack trace of 4 (four) function calls initiated from index.php
In Laravel there will be 40+ calls with many 3-rd party libraries involved (mostly from Simphony)
I actually use only `routing` service of the backend framework and my request goes through 40+ other code blocks. That's unreasonable for me and that's regarding `big`
Why Laravel is `lazy` can be seen in benchmarks
Also development speed on CI is much faster than on Laravel

Thank you for the clear explanation.
I got what you mean!
