Symfony2 Performance Tests
==========================

What is tested? Basically the simplest application you can develop with Symfony2 (Version 2.2.0).
Composer was run with -o flag which optimizes autoload creating a classmap

<?php

namespace RicardClau\Bundle\BenchmarkBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Template;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/benchmark", name="benchmark")
     * @return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
     */
    public function benchmarkAction()
    {
        return new \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response('zend optimizer +');
    }
}

Machine used: Macbook Air with 1.8 Ghz i5 and 8Gb ram, HD is SSD

Results with ab -n 5000 -c 10

zend_optimizerplus.max_accelerated_files=4000
zend_optimizerplus.revalidate_freq=60
zend_optimizerplus.fast_shutdown=1
zend_optimizerplus.enable_cli=1

With ApcClassLoader enabled?

No, should be almost the same as apc.stat set to Off but will anyway I will do the test tomorrow and publish the results in my blog

Could you test it with this string return new \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response('APC');?
