Zend Framework + Smarty for a high traffic website

I'm considering integrating smarty with Zend Framework for a large project. The goals I want to achieve are: increase code readability and speed up development. Zend is quite heavy on it's own plus I also use PropelORM which adds to the weight. I'm not super concerned about PHP performance as there is Alternative PHP Cache which will cache the source code however I still prefer to have a good think before adding another big library to the project.

Do you have any experience with smarty under high traffic? Are there any issues I should be aware of?

Thank you.

I'm using Zend and Smarty on high traffic project ( about 40000 visits/day ) without any problems. Smarty integration is also very easy. Templates are compiled to the PHP code so don't worry about it.

Just be carefull with helpers, one stiff helper can send your server down. But that's not the Smarty issue...
