After the previous round of benchmarking, I received one very good criticism from Matthew Weier O’Phinney about it. He suggested that the hardware I was using, a PowerPC G4 Mac Mini, had an I/O system that was not representative of what a "regular" user would have as a web server. I have to agree with that. As such, I have prepared a new set of benchmarks for Cake, Solar, Symfony, and Zend Framewo
