I did some comprehensive performance benchmarks of all the latest PHP MVC Frameworks including Yii 1.1.1, Kohana 2.3.4 and Code Igniter 1.7.2 as well as others. The results and analysis of results is here: Comparing PHP MVC Framework Performance

Searching around regarding framework comparison. Can’t believe there is a big differences between the benchmark comparison you have mentioned here and Yii website.
Anyway, there is a new PHP Framework called DooPHP. They claim to be the fastest PHP Framework. Probably you can do some benchmark comparison again?

I also didn’t find that Yii is faster than CI or so many times faster than ZF(eventhough ZF is heavy)

Hi how about testing out DooPHP? It is built to be flexible for use with Zend Framework rich list of components. And both shares the same new BSD license. Please see if it is full of bu**sh*t.

Even if the Yii developers claim, that they have built the fastest framework, you shoudl have al look at http://adventure-php-framework.org/Page/103-Yii-vs-apf/~/sites_demosite_biz-action/setLanguage/lang/en.

This re-run of the Yii RPS benchmark analyzes some aspects mentioned above, too.

Thank you for clearing the issue.
I had my doubts about the benchmarks myself, even with a single Hello World application running, but I didn’t go further to test it for myself.
It’s just sad that such misleading benchmark results, if not downright misinforming, find their ways up to the web.

The “hello world” benchmarks are pretty telling about the framework extra-weight added to the application. Of course there a framework may load everything upfront and make the benchmark pointless form a performance point-of-view but it still tells something about how the framework was built.

I have worked with Kohana framework and CodeIgniter for the same type of application and as the complexity of the application grows the differences in performance grows accordingly. Is not that a developer that creates a “fast” framework will screw up big time when it comes to db interogation or AR implementation. That’s why the feature set should be considered when analysing the “hello world” benchmarks.

It’s not the most informative benchmark but it’s not idiotic either.

Hey,

Thanks a lot for this post. I had just looked at the Yii benchmarks page and nearly had a heart attack. Thanks for scrutinizing the benchmarks and setting things straight!

Hi,

I have just recently ran the benchmarks again with restarting apache after every benchmark and i didn’t notice any really visible difference.
