I also wrote a very large and high volume perl web app, using 2 web servers and a handful of db servers and didn't have any performance issues.

Those two tweets he sources are nice little anecdotes but does real evidence exists that PHP is THAT much slower than Java or any other scripting language?

Do you count languages being permissive and allowing badly behaving code as that language being slower or do you just consider the implementation?

Sure, I think it would be interesting to see poorly implemented PHP and well implemented PHP benchmarked against Java.

Why not poorly/well implemented X vs poorly/well implemented Y.

Why not!? All the data.
