 Shootout - sieve
 Interpreters, sorted by seconds taken:
 (EtoC added for comparison)
 ---------------------------------------
 Euphoria  0.13  - EtoC Translator / Watcom
 Euphoria  0.47  - Interpreted with exw.exe
 pliant    0.68
 gforth    0.75
 parrot    2.98
 ocamlb    3.21
 poplisp   3.34
 eu in eu  7.15  - PD source Euphoria translated/compiled to eu.exe
 erlang    7.16
 lua       8.70
 pike     10.36
 python   14.33
 icon     15.12
 perl     16.36
 elastic  16.88
 guile    18.64
 cygperl  19.22
 ruby     27.59
 mawk     28.00
 vbscript 32.02
 php      67.32   <---- !!!
 jscript  77.43
 tcl      83.10
 gawk    158.49
 rexx    166.85

So, on sieve at least, Euphoria (interpreted) is 
67.32/.47 = 143x faster than php

while E2C Euphoria is: 
67.32/.13 = 517x faster.

If you don't mind giving up that much speed,
by all means consider using php for CGI.
