Python application servers (Webware, Skunkweb) can work much faster than
php. But it is true only for non-trivial code. Benchmark for "Hello world"
is a nonsense of course. 

But pure speed is not the all. Python can scale better, has cleaner and
consistent syntax, better standard libraries and is a common language
rather than specific script language for web only.
