Plone load times compared to MovableType, Wordpress, EZPublish, PHP Nuke, Joomla, Drupal & Mambo
Speckyboy Design Magazine reports that a company called pageloadtime.com (site not loading) has measured load times for sites powered by Plone and seven other CMS systems respectively. They did this by Googling for sites that stated they were "Powered by:" and then the CMS name. Here is one of the graphs:

What is on the x axis of that graph?? Update: Could it be that they have sorted web sites for each CMS by page load time, and then the y axis plots the aggregate of the load times for that CMS, so that the line increases for each step to the right with the amount of the load time of the next site's response time.

I received an email from the Admin of Page Load Time at the start of this week, informing me that they had tested the Page Load Times of 2200 (honestly, they have, its amazing) websites of the following CMSs: Movable Type, Wordpress, EZ Publish, PHP Nuke, Joomla, Drupal, Mambo and Plone.

Yep
drupal
But in any case X seems to be just the index number of the site, which makes the whole graph completely useless, as obviously they don't have the same amount of sites per CMS.
Somebody at that place is totally confused.

I don't think Y is an aggregate

I believe you're right
Not only confusing, but misleading
PHP Nuke: ca 180 sites. At 180/2=90 time is ca 4 sec. I.e. half of Nuke sites respond in ca 4 sec or less.
EZ Publish: ca 250 sites. At 125 time is ca 5 sec. I.e. half of EZ sites repond in ca 5 sec or less.
So by median (and also by average it seems) Nuke is faster than EZ, still the EZ curve is mostly *below* Nuke, thus appearing faster at first glance.
hard to understand...
The writer of the speckyboy article also mentions that he includes some material that he received from someone in email, but the site that is supposed to hold the reference is dead.
Fuzzy results, broken websites... end of the story. Maybe one day we get some more info about this.
