Yes this is a problem.

Yes. Euphoria is much faster than PHP across the board. I don't know why Robert
compares Eu to PHP using Sieve, but we'll get a better idea as to exactly how
fast Euphoria is in comparison to other languages once Jason finishes his
language shootout benchmarks and tests them.

Get Euphoria 2.5 and try running it with 10,000 requests to view the page at the
same time. That is a typical high traffic page. Then perhaps after that, try
10,000,000 requests at the same time. That is typical for sites like Yahoo, MSN,
Google, etc.

Euphoria is fine for CGI. It isn't as good as Perl or PHP, but that is mostly
because of the lack of complete CGI support libraries. Hopefully that will change
with the ESL project.
