All Frameworks like Zend Framework , Symfony and Others are so Abstract with Loads of includes and requires that I find that on every Request the Apache PHP Module spends atleast a Second to resolve this before actual Spitting of HTML Even starts ( Obviously 1 Second is a sort of Metaphor :) There are Front Controllers and Bootstraps and Routers and God knows what else :) Why not just create an Application Object from index.php like in Yii with Yii::createApplication ? Moreover , I think Lazy Loading further improves Yii Performance. T
If I simply use Plain PHP with Classes and all , wont it be more closer to the Bare Metal (Hardware) ? Never been into Benchmarking frankly.
In jQuery Everyone suggest to use Plain Javascript 'for' Loop instead of jQuery 'each' statement because Javascript 'for' loop is more closer to Bare Metal when dealing with Huge DataSets so it definitely runs faster. An Analogy in 3D would be Software Rendering vs Graphics Card Bare Metal Rendering.
Moreover unecessary Abstraction leads to more Server Work which in turn Leads to more heat Generated from Servers and which directly contributes to Global Warming. I think thats one o f the Reasons behind IBM o Green thing , not sure though. Cant We just go back to Basics
