btw I say this not to flame but as info - if you need faster performance 
and can use Python, a great Codeigniter type lean mean framework machine 
in Python is WebPy www.webpy.org  - the standard hello world web page is 
just 5 lines of code without some huge directory hierarchy.   Has a more 
standard license than Codeigniter.  Has native bindings for MySQL, 
Postgres, & SQLite.  And using it with SQLObjects is a snap for a good 
fairly light active record system.  Even comes with it's own web server 
for fast local development.   And written by the guy who helped create 
Reddit.com. 

Light frameworks offer the advantage of being able to just jump in and 
start coding without having to learn some complicated, extensive 
framework.  And of course giving more control.  And MVC is much cleaner.
