I don't understand the "PHP is fast" comments. Whenever I've had major scaling problems with PHP or anything else it's been due to IO rather than a fundamental issue with whatever language I was using.
The things I did to fix the performance problems are generally language agnostic. Improved database architecture, search indexer configuration, clustering, memcache, etc.
