python cgi vs php
Jun 1st, 2004 by Phil Dawes
The RAP rdf netapi is about to be released (Chris is putting the finishing touches to the RAP 0.8). My work on this api has taught me that I like working with python a lot more than I like working with PHP.
With that in mind, I did some simple performance comparisons between a php page and a python cgi on phildawes.net.
Results of 4 runs are:
0.133100032806 Python
0.111065864563 PHP
0.154880046844
0.104358196259
0.142001867294
0.0995299816132
0.134169101715
0.0949969291687
PHP is consistently faster, sometimes as much as 0.06 sec faster. Personally that’s not a big enough speed improvement to warrant me switching all my development to php. Having said that, I need to test DB speed from python cgi vs. pooled connections from php.
