The PHP execution model (mostly based on CGI FWIW) tends to be a bit
unpractical for non-trivial applications since you have to rebuild the
whole world for each and any incoming request, while with a long-running
process, you load all your libs, parse your config etc only once.
Apart from the ease of having the application run at all times, I'd be
curious to read about an application that was written in PHP and then
a long-running process and see if performance improved.
I'm not sure there's a way to do such a thing in PHP, at least in a way
that wouldn't make the whole benchmark totally meaningless. And trying
to compare a PHP app with a similar non-PHP would also be (mostly)
meaningless.
Now there are a couple Symfony / Django benchmarks around (Symfony being
probably the closest thing to Django in the PHP world). They are just as
reliable as most benchmarks (that is, at best a rough indicator once you
understand what's effectively being measured), but it seems that they
confirm the empirical evidence that PHP is not well suited for such
"heavy" OO frameworks.
Regardless, Python has an easier syntax, so AFAIC, that's already a
good enough reason to use this to write web apps.
Indeed !-)
