Symfony 2 Benchmarking Test

This is the Symfony 2 PHP portion of a benchmarking test suite comparing a variety of web development platforms.

This implementation is the direct result of installing the Standard Edition of Symfony 2 using Composer, and making the minimum modifications necessary to support running the benchmark. Specifically, unnecessary bundles have not been removed from the kernel to properly reflect "out of the box" performance. If you're interested in tuned performance, see the symfony-stripped test, which removes and unnecessary components.

Note: app/bootstrap.php.cache is generated by Composer when you first run composer.phar install
