    copied!<p>Yes. I can confirm. However.</p> <p>First the bad news:</p> <ul> <li>Drupal7 core is more complex. Complexity costs performance. </li> <li>Drupal7 core is bigger: more features, more in core. <strong>more</strong> equals <strong>slower</strong>. </li> </ul> <p>Then the theory:</p> <ul> <li>In Drupal6, approx. 95% of the projects included CCK. Call that Drupal+. Drupal7 comes with CCK out of the box. Drupal6+ is <strong>slower</strong> then Drupal7. </li> <li>Drupal7 offers a lot of enterpris-ish abilities for performance tuning. Memcached, (Varnished)Proxy support, Database balancing (master/slave etc). Something that Drupal6 could not do. </li> </ul> <p>However, <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/142529" rel="noreferrer">Drupal6 pressflow had these enterprise-ish things build</a> in (in fact: these pressflow features made it into core, offering the basis for Drupal7). </p> <p><a href="http://2bits.com/articles/performance-benchmarking-drupal-512-drupal-66-and-drupal-7x-we-are-getting-slower.html" rel="noreferrer">Drupal7 is slower then Pressflow Drupal6</a>. Drupal7 offers performance features that Drupal6 did not offer, but that PressflowDrupal6 did offer.</p> <p>Many projects also have views module enabled. Views3 in Drupal7 offer a lot of performance improvements (enterprise-ish features) over Views2 for Drupal6. </p> <p>My advice: untill there is a performance-optimised Drupal7 (Pressflow Drupal7, for example) Just stay with your Pressflow Drupal 6. It is in both theory and practice a lot faster. If you can benefit from the Views3 improvements and features, then go for Drupal7+views3, that will give you more options to tune performanceissues.</p>
