Selection of faster PHP framework than Codeigniter?

[quote author="Phil Sturgeon" date="1248880667"]CodeIgniter beats the pants out of CakePHP and Zend in both speed and usability.

Using any of these frameworks, if your code is incredibly slow you are doing something wrong. Don't pick a framework because it can output hello world faster than another, pick it because you like the framework, the support, the community, the documentation, etc. For me, that would be CodeIgniter.[/quote]

True, CakePHP was just to slow to even imagine working with, and zend scared me away.

Although i know this thread is about Frameworks, it might be worth watching this: http://www.viddler.com/explore/carsonified/videos/13/

Its a video about comparing Ruby Vs. PHP in terms of speed, its taken from the Future of Web Apps Conference 2009 (FOWA). Presented by Joe Stump from digg.com and Blaine Cook formerly of twitter.com hope you enjoy.
