I find some of the bits really slow, but solid, others perform well. My biggest gripe with ZF components is that the Exception handler Zend_Exception, is sometimes tricky to override with the native Chisimba customException handler (which produces pretty output as opposed to an ugly call stack, and logs the ugly things (user wise) to a log file). Sometimes it takes a few more minutes of time. Basically, I would say evaluate each component on its own merit. If you would like to use one, check the code and run some performance tests on it - sometimes you will be able to roll your own in less time and with simpler code. --Paul
