Re:PHP 3.0 Final is out (1998) by exikyut on Saturday May 22, 2021 @04:57AM (#27244820)
I reimplemented the speedtest.net backend for fun a number of years ago, right around when it was transitioning from Flash to HTML5 and offered both.

I used a PHP process running in the background using stream_socket_server().

IIRC my computer had a 5Gbps connection to localhost using HTML5, and fractionally less using Flash :>

...which meant that PHP was writing to the web browser at 5Gbps.
