Yes, Python will be slower than PHP. PHP doesn't have a VM or garbage collection. However, Python should be adequate for reading files and such. As others have said, post your benchmarks and post your code. Chances are there are things you can do in the code to speed it up, and make it's performance more comparable. I doubt you'll be able to get the Python code to be faster than PHP though, that's just the nature of the beast. If you're happy with PHP, by all means stick with it, it's fast. However, I can't put up with that garbage heap of a language.
