As the author of a relatively popular benchmarking article, I feel compelled to respond to this bit of misguided analysis from the Symfony camp about benchmarks. M. Zaninotto sets up a number of straw-man arguments regarding comparative benchmarks in general, although he does not link to any specific research. In doing so, he misses the point of comparative benchmarking almost entirely. Herein I will address some of M. Zaninotto's arguments individually in reference to my previous benchmarking series.
