to compare the speed of the two u need a lot of normalization, it is 
completely two different vector quantities --irrational. There is no way 
for an absolute comparison.

both php and python are excellent but each has some application in which 
it defeats the other..

if u want something really fast use assembly.. what??? why are u 
shocked!! you don't want to pay tax ;)

it's a matter of preference and need after all.. don't be misled by all 
the fuss about speed or the mightiness of any programming language they 
are just tools .. u r the secret!!
