it would be nice to see PHP w and w/o ZEND competing against each other. but I don't think the raw cpu usage can be taken as a indicator for judging a language. there are many other bottlenecks which play a much more important role: database speed, file access latency (whatever you need for storage). absolutely *no* reasonable programmer will ever use PHP to calculate prime numbers or fractals (maybe with mathematical extensions, but not with raw PHP code). face it: PHP is "just" a layouting engine. it collects data from different sources, gives it the final polish (formatting) and outputs it. nothing more. and YES it's a very feature-rich layouting engine and an excellent one, too.
