How is that relevant? This is not about it being faster for "it's primary use case" (optimized for that, etc).

It's generally faster than Python in doing the same things as Python does, unrelated to web too.

The point is that PHP's primary, original use case is latency-sensitive in a way that Python's isn't. So it's always been subject to more performance pressure.
