This project attempts to measure minimum overhead (minimum bootstrap cost) of PHP frameworks in real world.
So I think the minimum 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 optimize branch.
This branch accepts optimization like:
- removing components/configurations which are not used
- optimized configuration
Caution: Not all the frameworks are optimized!
If you are interested in benchmarking with no optimization/manipulation (removing components/configurations which are not used), See master 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.
Note(2): Only frameworks with (*) mark are optimized, and optimized does not mean fully optimized. Other frameworks are not optimized at all.

Install source code as http://localhost/php-framework-benchmark/:
$ git clone https://github.com/kenjis/php-framework-benchmark.git
$ cd php-framework-benchmark
$ git checkout optimize
$ sh setup.sh
Run benchmarks:
$ sh benchmark.sh
See http://localhost/php-framework-benchmark/.
If you want to benchmark some frameworks:
$ sh setup.sh fatfree-3.5/ slim-3.0/ lumen-5.1/ silex-1.3/
$ sh benchmark.sh fatfree-3.5/ slim-3.0/ lumen-5.1/ silex-1.3/
I added below in /etc/sysctl.conf
# Added
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_max = 100000
net.nf_conntrack_max = 100000
net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets = 180000
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 10
and run sudo sysctl -p.
If you want to see current configuration, run sudo sysctl -a.
