All points that are discussed here are right (in the point of view). But again .. if you reach such a dimension of traffic i think you have a complete other workflow, a bigger team and other problems ;o) To start an idea, a site or a platformm, CI is for my opinion the best and fastest way. If needed you can refactor the site. The money you save on the rapid development with CI can reinvest later on.
HHVM .. never tried them but i sound interesting.

Do CI have buddle/plugin website like sympony ? Does CI have buddle like REST API from Rails?
If build a complete new website, CI or sympony, which one build faster and have more sources information to consult?
In term of activity/community, which one is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd in PHP Framework overall ? Please give me some info.

Somebody close this thread already, Phalcon is not even a framework.

If you are really looking at running Millions of hits per day, I would suggest that you must do a lot of design and planning.
You will need to make sure that your communications infrastructure is capable of delivering the volume of traffic you are expecting.
I am not sure that PHP would be your best tool in that case, and you will definitely need a scalable infrastructure which will include the front end servers, the database servers and the application servers.

I have tried to do a matching program in Phalcon that I did in CodeIgniter, various CMS tools etc.
I found that I got locked into asking many questions on their forums because their documentation was not as easy to follow as Codeigniter.
Ease of use, CI wins.

I briefly looked into Phalcon, and i agree it does not look like a framework at all. It, to me, looks more like a PHP Extension, rather than a framework. So CI wins in this case.
