Well, in tests I have been doing here, I have got a script run with 
mod_php to run 10 times faster than the same script run without. 
Rewriting the scripts to PHP an running them, speeds up that process 
another 4 times, so in my book PHP is faster.

Another thing I hate with Perl, is the ease you can write really bad 
scripts.  The fact that you don't have to declare variables (yeah, yeah, 
I know about use strict), makes my skin crawl.  Also reminds of the 
(urban?) legend of the rocket ship that was lost because of variables 
and fortran...
