Ruby is slower than PHP7+ by orders of magnitude. I doubt it.

Orders of magnitude? Do you thibk that PHP is at least x100 times faster than Ruby?
Alright, maybe an exaggeration. But the difference is huge. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...
Well that is a benchmark with a set of specific mathematical problems like calculating pi digits. I would rather compare Rails with Laravel e.g. in terms of requests per second or speed of json deserialization. See https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ Symfony, Lumen and Rails seems to be somewhat equal in performance, but Laravel is a bit slower in respect to the benchmarked web related criterions.
