Help I'm stuck in my garage

I finally contacted the building owners, asking them to fix the garage door, and to be honest, I'm a bit sad about that.

It was a bit of a game, seeing if I could locate the one sweet spot with my car's tires which seemed to be all that was left of the sensor. I think I spent 5 minutes one day last week trying to get out of the garage.

Oh well, all good things must come to an end.

On the other hand, I'm exciting to start building things with CodeIgniter. I took a pretty thorough review of their (so far excellent) documentation and the workflow is quite similar to the framework I was using back in the day (a derivative of the WACT project). I'm happy to abandon my efforts, as this library looks pretty solid, and covers a lot of functionality (including some more random elements like generating calendars, working with zip files, etc...)

Most benchmarks (here's the first one I found on google) show it to be one of the faster frameworks out there, and a brief perusal of the code base show it to be well thought out (and commented too!).

Ultimately though, bottlenecks are between the database and application, so I wouldn't suggest specifically choosing a framework solely due to benchmarks. Personally, I'm interested in how comfortable I am with the workflow, as well as how good the documentation is, and the community behind it.

I'd like to drupalize a version of the software I'll be creating, but we'll see how much of the code I can reuse. I'm already partially resigned to the idea of having to maintain two different code bases. We'll see!
