The really interesting thing is how D on plain old CGI also performed better than fairly popular PHP applications as well, like phpBB3, WordPress and MediaWiki (determined by comparing individual pages that did basically the same thing. Not exactly though, so not a fully fair comparison)
Why is this interesting? D is a static, compiled, "system" language designed to be near the speed of C. PHP is a scripting language, similar to Perl, but built to make web coding easier.
And I agree with "retard" that if you rewrite something crappy (or even not so crappy), the new version will be better than the original. If you want your article to be taken seriously, you'll have to show code written in idiomatic PHP that benefits from being written in idiomatic D.
