It's a ridiculous thing to say that any version of PHP is slow. You could run PHP5 today and it's still not slow by any modern standard. Even on the hardware of 15 years ago almost any script you throw at it finishes in single digit milliseconds.
How is that slow? I'd like to meet the developers that consider this slow.

- coldtea 3y agoThe strongest within a certain category is still a useful concept. If one is looking for a strong pickup truck, they don't care that a 18-wheeler is stronger, as that's in another category they have no use for. One might want to pick among "scripting languages with suitability for web coding and great adoption" for example...
