Which is essentially that PHP is 50 to 250 times slower than the open-source ASP.NET/Mono. Of course, disclaimers associated with benchmarks go here. :)

Like any language PHP code can be written in such a way to be slow or fast. There is some interesting information here about how to speed up PHP code: http://phplens.com/lens/php-book/optimizing-debugging-php.php As a long time PHP coder for both my employer and OS projectws I believe it to be fast, flexible as hell, powerful to the point where you can do yourself damage if you are not careful, and overall ideal for web based apps. \__ Jason Munro \__ jason@stdbev.com \__ http://hastymail.sourceforge.net/
