i dont know why people fail to understand. most of the slowness is not the language but the code.

for instance, raw php is really fast but apps like magento and wordpress slows it down to a crawl, more slower than a typical rails app.

depends per project but usually the slowness comes mostly from the abstraction with the db layer. where this means the latency to the db needs to be factored in to the benchmarks as well as to see if there are any lighter ORMs that can be used.
