Maybe so, but I think the confusion is more likely to come from an anticipated performance level based (in this case) on previous experiences with other languages, without really truly understanding your chosen language in question (in this case PHP)
I would not say you NEED to know all limitations and performance implications of languages you use, but at least have a base idea. I think this is taken as red in the manual in some places and therefore does not need to be stipulated, as the issues in my opinion are at a lower level than the ZF? Saying that, the manual does have a section on performance issues, so maybe there is something in there? I do agree with you though to help new users it may be worth adding "Limitations" and "Goals" as you suggest, then people wont be forced to read not very well balanced articles, but instead hear it straight from the horses mouth so to speak.
