No. There are many things to say about this, and some have been said. But take for example sessions in PHP: they do have to be loaded from disk, for every request. Granted, the OS-FS-cache *can* maybe speed that up - but serving them from memory all the time is for sure more perfomant. So it is wrong that PHP doesn't have to create any instances - it sure does, and even worse, it *can't* possibly use memory-caching techniques to prevent that. Then PHP as language is much slower than Python.
