That's not a healthy attitude, no matter what solution you use.

We have hourly backup our system

Backups are different from security

Security is always the #1 priority. Insecure systems are very dangerous and a major pain to restore; your backups might be worthless. http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/39231/how-do-i-deal-with-a-c...

@jaydul, you should give real attention to these words.
In my opinion, @mikeytown2 is giving really good advice.

Hmm...

If you're not worried about security, focused on performance and intent on only using core modules... I wonder if Drupal is the best choice for your project? Maybe just build something lightweight, or use a lighter framework?

That aside, I think performance depends on what you're doing with it. I haven't tried D8 yet but I expect it'll do something better than D7 does, and visa-versa.

Some details on your project may help.

Going back to your initial question, here is a very informative post by Wim Leers with some benchmark between drupal 7 and 8
Drupal 8 now has page caching enabled by default

D8 uses a new cache system

Posted by hanser (not verified) on May 7, 2015 at 5:19pm

D8 uses a new cache system called cache tags that avoid clean the entire page cache when something changes.
Also it have page caching enabled by default for anonymous users.
http://wimleers.com/blog/drupal-8-page-caching-enabled-by-default

For authenticated users instead is going to use something called SmartCache
https://www.drupal.org/node/2429617

But, D8 is OO and is more complex that D7, also it has many performance issue still to be fixed in the next future.

Having said this, and even with the improvements above, D7 "seems" still faster than D8 for both anonymous and authenticated users.

I hope that this changes in the next future and also that the efforts are not only focused on new cache systems(that adds also more complexity) but also in code and system optimization.

However if ,for any strange reason, don't need security, is better going use some light framework and not Drupal.
