> PHP has been designed from the get go to be super fast

PHP was never designed to be fast. As far as execution speed goes, PHP will be in the same ballpark as Perl?Python/Ruby. PHP comes up as faster in these tests because of all the extra things the frameworks are doing. See the_mitsuhiko comment above regarding flask for an example.
