Interesting. Dries did a Joomla/Drupal comparison back in 2006 http://buytaert.net/drupal-vs-joomla-performance. Looks like the relative performance remains roughly the same.

Caching was turned off in this example?!?!?! He mentions that Joomla! has no caching in core but has modules which can provide it, so he didn't test that. However, Drupal is 20 times faster with caching turned on (I imagine Joomla! and Typo3 are similarly faster) so this seems like a major thing to ignore.

This is of course still valuable for comparison since it tests the "authenticated user" situation where caching can't work. Quite interesting...

These kinds of tests don't really mean much. Core performance is only part of the picture, and usually a small one. Module performance is where you really need to watch out, and this is different for every site.

Caching is also hugely important. Not just at the application level, either. Database caching and opcode caching can make an incredible difference in how your site performs.

Need reliable Drupal hosting?

got links for improving performance for authenticated user, with bunch of modules (can't resist to install many modules) ?

I wrote an article about performance tuning, although some of the tips won't help for authenticated users.

Authenticated users are harder, because they bypass Drupal's cache for the most part. The next level is server tuning. Here's a couple links:

MySQL performance tuning script:

XCache PHP opcode caching:

http://xcache.lighttpd.net/

These kind of tweaks generally require root access, so unless you're running a VPS or dedicated server, you might not get much use out of them.
