I thought it might be a problem when I tested a zope implementation of it 
which I posted to this thread earlier but it actually worked just fine and it 
worked far far faster then any of JZ's results. The output also looks correct 
to me but the problem is so trivial that on more complex frameworks it just 
measures the small overhead the framework has and blows it out of proportion 
to a normal usage case.

It seems if this is really the kind of usage case you care about that you 
should not be using php or python. You should be using tux(kernel webserver) 
under linux with a hand coded asm solution to really show how fast this is 
but then you would end up with wget being the cause of the slow downs. Now 
admittedly I don't see why this would be very useful but somebody seems to 
think that these kinds of trivial benchmarks apply to real world situations 
since there sure are a lot of them around.
