Are there any benchmarks available for testing the increase in speed of coding using codeigniter ?

Say for example..taking a simple membership project as an example if a programmer uses PHP5 and does not use any other frameworks etc and codes it and if the same programmer used codeigniter what will be performance gain he will achieve ? Will he be able to complete the project faster if so by how much % ? etc

Hmm

I think your question is very subjective. Depends on a number of things, like the experience of the programmer, the methodology used when not in a framework, etc.

May I ask you why are you asking? Are you basing your adoption of CI on this supposed benchmarks?

I understand it is very subjective but if various factors can be limited and made to be same and if some kind of a rough benchmark is made available then it will really help in the advocacy of CodeIgniter

If you use Apache web server check “ab” in manual

He is not asking for app execution benchmarks but ‘coding benchmarks’

As I can interpret you are asking are more about CI user testimonials, than benchmarks. the term ‘Benchmark’ is used for statistical measures in controlled enviroments, that can be replicated anywhere.

I can tell you that using CI saves me between 50% and up to 80% of my coding time, compared to coding from scratch. Other users can tell you otherwise. Everyone can have a different story.

Again, if you want to know about execution benchmarks, look for them in this forum There are a couple of external links that may help you.

You may want to check this CakePHP/CodeIgniter/Symfony Benchmark.

Anyway, you shouldn’t rely on this kind of tests when choosing a framework.

Thanks for all answers.
Regarding benchmark yes your definition is correct.
Also glad to know that you can achieve 50% to 80% increase in productivity.
