I'm doing mobile performance benchmarking on various slow phones (ones sold in "developing" countries), on a low-latency high-speed internet connection (a computer on WiFi in the same location gets ~1Gbps with a few ms latency).
Using default themes, which blogging platform do you predict has the BEST performance?

@danluu I don't know XenForo but I'm willing to bet that phpBB and vBulletin both *fly* on slow devices with a fast connection, because from what I remember of using them, they were both did render-to-HTML entirely server-side and used plain <form>s, working without any JS at all.
@danluu on some level this is just another iteration of "if you take software that was designed for 500MHz CPUs and run it on 1GHz CPUs it usually goes pretty fast" I think
@danluu you've posted about Discourse 's founder critic of CPU vendors (not unfounded) used as an excuse instead of optimizing ember or whatever stack they use, which skews this a bit.
I still took a minute to think it through and I'd be surprised if discourse wasn't last anyway. It might depend how you do your benchmarks.
