It was mistyping in PHP script - 10000 instead of 100000.
But with 100000 iterations reported time was the same - 1 second.

And if remove assignment to hash table and use just empty loop body
(pure speed of interpreter), then times for 10000000 (ten millions)
iteration are

Python: 14 seconds
PHP:    17 seconds
Rebol:  58 seconds


Also bad result (for Rebol), but 3 times slower is not 50 times slower...
