How much and whether or not it's acceptable depends on the framework and on your use case. In *most* use cases, PHP execution time is not your bottleneck. Disk IO, database traffic, and network traffic are a much bigger problem. If you can, throw an Opcode cache at it (whether it's a framework or not) to get a nice speed boost. I find I produce much better quality results with much less effort when using a good framework than when writing from scratch. --Larry Garfield
