What always impresses me and leaves impression, is just how fast raw PHP is. At times it seems PHP has been obsoleted by new platforms, but benchmarks like these make a case for it's use. Especially because it is really easy for beginners to pick this up.

The first PHP result for the JSON test comes in at 31.7% of the performance of the top performer. PHP also occupies the bottom 3 worst slots.

That's disappointing. One thing PHP should be really good at is serializing/deserializing JSON.
