Cache and Eager Loading for Laravel framework [Benchmark of php frameworks v0.0.5]

In Release 0.0.5 :
Add new tests for laravel:

• Use Cache for load posts from DB in 'posts' most heavy page. But it doesn`t solve the problem
• Use Eager Loading for load posts from DB in 'posts'. It is very fast.

More informations about changes.

This release is the next step in my road-map. As you remember, I planned to add query caching to reduce the loading time of the 'posts' page. I decide to start with Laravel framework.
I was very surprised by the results of the tests after adding caching. Time of generation was the same.
I began to dig deeper and found out that in addition to a large amount of data, there is still multiple access to the database for obtaining related data. For each entity from 3 to 10 queries.

• $post->author->name
• $post->postType->name
• $post->categories : $category->name

For our 1000 records, we get about 10,000 requests.

So we need to see what the results will be when using Eager Loading.
And what will the results be if we use the Cache + Eager Loading.

framework	requests per second	relative	peak memory	relative
laravel-index	9.93	248.3	6.21	14.2
laravel-posts-eager_load-cache	9.10	227.5	7.37	16.9
laravel-posts-eager_load	8.02	200.5	7.36	16.9
laravel-authors	7.20	180.0	7.34	16.8
laravel-categories	6.80	170.0	7.51	17.2
laravel-posts	0.04	1.0	15.13	34.7
laravel-posts-cache	0.04	1.0	18.46	42.3

As we can see in the case of laravel-posts and laravel-posts-cache, only the peak memory has increased.
But if we use Eager Loading (laravel-posts-eager_load-cache and laravel-posts-eager_load in table) then the peak memory is lower and requests per second is a lot more

Roadmap:

• Try to use Cache for all frameworks (Done for laravel. Next step: Cache for Phalcon)
• Implementing a test application and running tests on Symfony
• Implementing a test application and running tests on Yii
• Connection with https://blackfire.io/
• Deal with the Docker and wrap it all up in it. To be able to quickly deploy to a more powerful server for comparison.
