Drupal, Joomla and WordPress benchmark results

Question

So there is this benchmark at http://sven.webiny.com/benchmark-webiny-vs-wordpress-vs-drupal-vs-joomla-vs-tomatocms/ Can I really trust it? I mean it came as a surprise to me that Drupal is so much faster than Wordpress and Joomla. I always thought of it as a super heavy CPU devouring monster compared to the aforementioned.

Answer 1

That benchmark is like comparing a train with a plane. Yes, a plane is faster, but that doesn't mean that you should take a plane to commute to work.

A CMS is just a tool, and you need the tool that is most suitable for your project. There is a huge difference between a corporate brochure (5 pages, little interaction, no logged in users), a blog (100 pages, some interaction, some logged in users) and a community platform (10000 pages, lots of interaction, most users logged in). I think every CMS in that benchmark can be the top performer for a specific type of site.
