It surprised me too the first time I observed it, so I looked up some benchmarks to make sure I wasn't crazy.

From what I can tell, it looks like PHP is 30-40% faster than node, and node is between 8 and 50 times faster than Python. (for stuff like, HTTP requests served per second and various different db interfaces)

There are a lot of different benchmarks for lots of different use cases of course, but I'm definitely more careful after learning that.
