Thats still to prove.

I claim, there are some cases, where Extbase might be 50% faster (in development), but very rarely more.
But it other (not too rare) cases it takes 400% of the time.
I know not a single extbase developer, who didn't swear several times against the framework, and required several hours to solve a problem, which would be 2 minutes of coding the traditional way. Usually because of flaws and bugs in the framework which is _very_ hard to debug, or even fix.

On the other side, it's awfully slow. Especially when you work with data not stored in doctrine. E.g. when using a webservice, or solr for data-retrieval.

The _only_ two advantages are, from my point of view, to enable rather stupid coders to write a semi-secure code, and to enforce code conventions.

Basically it was absolutely over-hyped, and few very aggressive supporters forced it into the community. But thats usual in the os-community - of course there are many advantages of it. But usually - who trolls most aggressive, has the best chance to win.
