My understanding is that the majority of the advertised speed increase has to do with lazy initialization of the request/response stuff and the need to expressly ask for things like session support.
Laravel's strength is that it is batteries included but for some stuff this can be a weakness, API's where that 30-40ms load time matters for example.
I've spent a couple of years working with and on laravel projects and mostly I like it a great deal but it is a sledgehammer when sometimes you need a ballpein.
