What is faster ASP.NET MVC or Ruby On Rails [closed]

Question

This is not meant to be a subjective or argumentative question.

I am investing some time in learning ASP.NET and more specifically ASP.NET MVC and I am curious how it stacks up to the competition. I really like what I am seeing so far with the framework, and I think the icing on the cake would be if it shows rock solid speed like I have seen with some ASP.NET form sites.

Has anyone done or seen fair comparisons or benchmarks? I would be interested to see how ASP.NET MVC stacks up against other solutions such as PHP MVC too.

Answer 1

If you compare just raw execution .NET is faster than PHP or RoR. However, the speed and overall performance of an application depends on its architecture. For example: StackOverflow runs on less than 10 servers. I work for a company that runs a website with pretty much the same hardware (+- 10 heavy work servers) but SO is way faster and has hundred times more access that my company's website.

So in most case it is really about how you implement the software other than the platform itself.
