You can’t use time command in this sort of benchmark. You are including start up t times here.

- mg 3y agoStartup times seem to be the same and also negligible: time python3 nothing.py 0.011s time php nothing.php 0.011s
- d-k-bo 3y agoStartup time in Python depends on the program because Python compiles all modules to bytecode before executing them.
- mg 3y agoWhen I up the loop size by a factor of 10, Python takes 10x longer. So I don't think the compile time plays a role here. Similar for the PHP version. python3 loop.py 3.450s time php loop.php 0.469s So PHP is 7x faster for the longer loop.
