Is there a particular application that you have in mind? It may have
some peculiarities.

I am using mod_perl and I am satisfied with its performance. The few
benchmarks that I just saw in google sugest that mod_perl is a small
bit faster than php.

Yes, a directory, some sort of Yellow Pages.

would it involve SQL queries and geographic algorithms? If so, that
may be your bottleneck and not language performance.

Yes, we would use PostgreSQL (we've switched from MySQL to PostgreSQL).
But I'd like to know which framework is the fastest.

I am very curious why. I am presently using MySQL on Algebra.Com, but
I am open minded.

As far as I know about mod_php, and that's very little, it cannot reuse
database handles, and mod_perl can.

That said, many heavy duty apps such as wikipedia, use php
successfully.

I think that language specific performance differences, if any, are of
little relevance.

I have nothing to say about other alternatives that you mentioned.

i

It is more robust, has more features (views, triggers, etc...) and you can
seperate table by HDD when they're real big or under heavy load, etc...

MySQL is perfect for regular projects, even for fairly high-traffic web
sites though.

Wishing to be helpful but at the same time having no intention of becoming
involved in the religious fervour surrounding "the my db is
bigger/fatter/wetter that your db", I offer this:
