I am my self a PHP enthusiast, but i the journal "ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review, Volume 31 Issue 3" there was an article called "A performance comparison of dynamic Web technologies" where Perl, Java server technolgy (also tomcat) and Perl was benchmarked in a labratory environment. It was concluded that Serverside Java outpreformed PHP and Perl by a factor 8.</p> This is a funny result.

Production is another. If a developer moves from X to Y, and things speed up and improve because of it, no amount of tests is going to change the fact that moving from X to Y speed thigns up.</p> A testing environment is one thing.
