New Paul Jones Framework Benchmarks - Ahem...

See this:

http://www.slideshare.net/pmjones88/framework-and-application-benchmarking

I love cake, but man, we ain't been doin' so well in them benchmarks.

Cake 1.3 weights in 3x slower than Zend 1.10, and 2x slower than
Symfony 1.4

I can somewhat understand why we are 7x slower than CI 1.7 and Kohana
3.0, as they are less full featured, so are expected to be faster (7x
faster is a bit harder to understand, though).

I'm a cake devotee because it's the best to develop with, the
community is my favorite, and it certainly meets all the scalability
needs I'll ever hope to have. So, practically, I could care less what
the numbers are.

But intellectually - what can explain those numbers from a relative
standpoint?

Symfony and Zend are pretty full featured frameworks, in some ways
more full featured than cake, yet their critical path execution limit
is 2-3 times faster.

Is it just a trick? Do they like optimize just one part of their
framework to make the "hello world" test run faster?

Why are we 2-3 times slower?
