This benchmark shows things a little bit differently. http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lang=php&lang2=java http://benchmarksgame.alioth

  It's probably worth mentioning that the regex-dna test time is kind of incorrect and provides an inaccurate view of what's happening. Java-8 is using java.util.regex which is written in Java, PHP is passing the regex requests to it's own regex process which is actually a C package and performs a lot faster. What we're actually comparing here is: time(java.util.regex) > time(php compilation + c regex package)

    PHP's execution performance is highly dependent on whether you are piggybacking the C implementations, or pure-PHP ones. That said, this is still a correct benchmark, if your use case involves a lot of regex.
