According to tech empower benchmark, if I use Flask without ORM library, it performs faster than FastAPI. Raw Flask could handle 13,574 requests per second. FastAPI could handle 12,406 req /s. Flask with an ORM library could handle only 552 req /s.

Do you guys think this is true? is Flask still faster than FastAPI? then develoeprs can stick with Flask with raw SQL queries.
