Hi,  I want to know if EE2 platform is a good tool to build out an application.  I know it runs on CI and I have used codeigniter before for web apps.  This is why I am considering EE2, so I can also take advantage of CI if I need to.

The app I am going to build is basically information/tiny blogs type.  Users will post ALOT of comments, pics, files, videos. But now I don’t really feel like building the database and writing up all the controllers, authentication, dashboard, url stuff, etc…  I feel like I will eventually come to the same point almost as EE2 if I start to write up everything myself.

Is EE2 a good tool for something like this in the beginning?

By the way,  what version is CI on EE2?

That sounds like a good scenario for EE, the Safecracker module would probably be a valuable asset!

Haha,  I already setup safecracker to use with ajax.  And jsmvc to do all the javascript stuff with jQuery.  Well, Ill give it a shot with EE2!

And one more thing. What about speed?  It seems when I open the front of the site,  it takes a longer to load than my apps running on codeigniter.  Like 3 seconds.  Codeigniter loaded my pages in like .0012 of a second.  Same server.  Any ideas how I can speed things up without caching first?
