Modern PHP frameworks initialize "entire application" only once at startup and process each request really fast.

It's interesting to see this comment here. In the usual quarterly arguing about PHP posts, the CGI-style "statelessness" is often brought up as a positive feature that differentiates PHP from more "modern" web app stacks.

It is possible to get the best of both worlds if you support both, easy development and performant deployment.

The performance seems pretty impressive! I'd like to see comet being added to techempower's benchmark, to see how it competes against other frameworks.
