does anyway know how laravel 5.5 is faring as against the latest version of other MVC frameworks ?
He is using Apache to test Laravel which, in my opinion, will slow Laravel down considerably. Laravel works best with nginx. So, I don't think it is a fair comparison. In all my years, I hardly ever come across a comparison that is fair and the author not biased in some way.
Background on Apache vs Nginx by Digital Ocean. The number of concurrent connections and caching are huge for Laravel: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/apache-vs-nginx-practical-considerations
