Two considerations...
Your rules of thumb are probably mostly related to CPU bound tasks. If database i/o is the bottleneck, then the differences across language probably don't matter much.
And, runtime performance isn't always the most important thing. In many cases, "time to market" or "cost of development" might be a higher order priority. In those cases, a higher level language might be more attractive.
