Initially P4 CPUs offered less performance than P3 chips even though rated 
higher.

That situation has been remedied for quite some time and P4 CPUs are no 
longer a performance problem.

What is an issue is the power requirement and heat radiation however I 
cannot say to what extent as I've not yet implemented P4 servers - memory 
and disk subsystem performance are a lot more important for a server than 
CPU performance given how powerful even the lowest entry level CPU is 
these days.
