"since PHP ... runs more efficiently than CGI"

Is that true? I did some test to sort 1 million numbers and Perl runs much faster than PHP. However, the PHP zealots said that's because Perl is optimized for loop code and PHP is not good at that. They also said that PHP is more effecient to generate web pages.

Another question is that, I just thought PHP as a programming language like Perl. But CGI itself is not a language, so we can't compare PHP with CGI IMHO.
