title: Benchmarking HAML vs JADE vs HTML in PHP?
body: <p>I'm interested in the performance of templating languages in PHP. I've been watching node.js tutorials and am really impressed by the use of JADE (<a href="http://jade-lang.com" rel="noreferrer">http://jade-lang.com</a>).</p>
  
  <p>I see that JADE can be used in PHP <a href="https://github.com/everzet/jade.php" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/everzet/jade.php</a> and am wonderring about how it works in terms of performance.</p>
  
  <p>I gather that when running for Node or Ruby the HAML or JADE is compiled when the server is started, but since (I gather) PHP loads at request-time there may be performance implications when using a templating language in PHP (then again, maybe the templates are compiled and stored in the cache).</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone seen or done benchmarks of how PHP performs when using HAML, JADE, (other template languages that I don't know about) versus writing the full HTML ? What other considerations should I be aware of?  (Assuming an MVC style framework)</p>
