Are Symphony and CakePHP too slow to be usable?
- by Aziz Light
Until now, I have always said that CakePHP is too bloated and slow. I don't really know that, I just saw "some" benchmarks. What I really want to know, is that if those two frameworks (Symfony and CakePHP) are too slow to be usable in a way that the user will get frustrated. I already know that those frameworks are slower than other alternatives, but that's not the question.
I ask the question because I want to create a project management web application and I still hesitate between a couple frameworks. I've had some trouble learning Zend, but imho I haven't tried hard enough.
So in conclusion, in addition to the first question above, I would like to ask another question:
If I want to create a project management tool (which is a pretty big project), which of the following should you suggest, considering the developement time, the speed of the resulting application, and the robustness of the final product:
Symphony
CakePHP
Zend Framework
Also I should mention that I don't know any of those frameworks, and that I want to learn one of them (at least).
