Re: Web Framework Benchmarks
#2I worked with Pat (pfalls) on this effort. He pulled the benchmarks together and built the script to automate the tests. We aimed to deploy each framework/platform according to best-practices for a production environment and then stress test common operations: JSON serialization of objects and database connectivity. We were surprised by the wide spectrum of performance we observed and hope that this interesting to you as well. Four orders of magnitude in one of our tests!
If you have any questions or see something we stupid we did, please let us know. We'd like to correct any mistakes straight away, especially since we're certainly not experts on all of these frameworks and platforms.

#3There is a huge difference between raw PHP and CakePHP. I'd be curious to see other PHP frameworks (such as Zend, or Slim) in there-- is Cake just particularly slow, or is that simply what happens when you have a PHP framework?

I'd be interested to see performance for Vert.x on its other hosts (this is the JVM version, I believe).

#5What was the parallelization like across these tests? Were they all running single thread/process mode or did you try to take advantage of threading/multiple-processes/etc. to optimize a production-like performance across all the different frameworks? If the latter, that's a really impressive amount of work!

#6So this means I should stop using CakePHP?

Interesting point. You're correct, we've only tested Vert.x as a Java/JVM platform.

Per my experience, CakePHP is probably one of the slowest PHP frameworks. It has a large overhead and lots of legacy code that slows down the whole system. Generally, frameworks targeted at PHP 5.3+ are faster. PHP 5.4 has further performance boost in production and PHP 5.5 has Zend Optimizer built-in, which suppose to further speed up but I have never try that in production.

We attempted to take advantage of threading/multiple-processes as best we could (see the nodejs code for an example of using the cluster module). But we suspect there are additional areas of improvement here.

#10I'd like to see how .Net MVC would compare. I realize you'd have to spin it up on a Windows EC2 instance and there would definitely be some variance in the performance of that box vs. the nix EC2 instances but I'd still be interested in seeing how it fares in comparison.
