Unless you're testing this under a significant load, such as using jMeter etc., this test is essentially meaningless. Loops over thousands or simple page loads do not mean anything. I'd look at a more real world test, make sure the HTML is exactly the same, structure the code to be similar etc.
Moreover what was the code you used. Until we see it for all we know its a very biased test towards PHP, CF or HTML. >For giggles, I just tried this on my box and got: > >HTML 33 milliseconds (static DataTime stamp and no queries to DB) >CF 2910 milliseconds (cleared template cache and newly restarted CF >service) >CF 707 milliseconds (after above run) > >And here's the code I tested.
