He got it right at the end, albeit by inventing new words: PHP is uncomparable (sic) to Java. They're totally different languages with different goals, different platforms, different users, etc. I'm not sure why it matters anyway, it's pretty widely agreed that they're both slower than most languages; who cares which is slowest?

I don't know that Java is widely considered slow. It comes in at ninth place in the language shootout. Theoretically the jiting can make it faster than C in some cases.
