Not to be a hater, but what's funny about that? The point is exactly that. Most people don't care about "blazing fast".

Right, most people who decide to use PHP aren't overly concerned about performance. And the folks who are concerned about it tend to choose other solutions (say, node.js, for example). The funny part is that it's fairly easy to take even bloated PHP apps like wordpress and turn them into high performance sites on very modest hardware.

When you're putting Varnish in front of static content, it doesn't really matter what the backend is, it's going to fly.
