This project attempts to mesure minimum overhead (minimum bootstrap cost) of PHP frameworks in real world.
So I think the minimun applications to benchmark should not include:
- cost of template engine (HTML output)
- cost of database manipulation
- cost of debugging information
Components like Template engine or ORM/Database library are out of scope in this project.
This is master branch.
- Install a framework according to the official documentation.
- Use the default configuration.
- Don't remove any components/configurations even if they are not used.
- With minimum changes to run this benchmark.
- Set environment production/Turn off debug mode.
- Run optimization which you normally do in your production environment, like composer's
--optimize-autoloader. - Use controller class if a framework supports.
Some people may think using default configuration is not fair. But I think a framework's default configuration is an assertion of what it is. Default configuration is a good starting point to know a framework. And I can't optimize all the frameworks. Some frameworks are optimized, some are not, it is not fair. So I don't remove any components/configurations.
But if you are interested in benchmarking with optimization (removing components/configurations which are not used), See optimize branch.
If you find something wrong with my code, please feel free to send Pull Requests. But please note optimizing only for "Hello World" is not acceptable. Building fastest "Hello World" application is not the goal in this project.

Note(1): All the results are run on php with phalcon.so and ice.so. If you don't load phalcon.so or ice.so, the rps except for Phalcon or Ice probably increase a bit.
