Joomla! 3 can be used for most purposes, but how is the overall performance for the same setting? When it comes to pure performance which version will be faster 2.5 or 3? I did a Joomla! Performance Tweaking (only for the J2.5) at the JD12 in Berlin. Now I want to compare the two Joomla-versions and give hints how to improve the speed / performance. As well as explain possible drawbacks. Data will be backed up by benchmarks so the results should be easily comparable.
