I'm going to have to agree, you can't do accurate tests unless you design the same "test" app using CakePHP, regular PHP (good luck), and/or other frameworks.
IMO, it doesn't make sense trying to benchmark how fast the home.ctp page is pulled up, unless of course that's what your app will be doing. Then again, I'm no benchmarking genius. I guess you could through in some memory_get_peak_usage() calls, but then again, that's memory and not speed or CPU. I think you should think bout those profilers. I don't have enough experience in them to know any better. You're best bet is to focus on development. That's what worked for me. I actually sat down and went from nothing to a small app in 15 minutes. That's what impressed them. And company execs always love the word FREE.
