Is PHP really more memory efficient than the competition? I know it scores better on the computer benchmark game but the non-existent concurrency support and general leakyness of most the extensions (unless they've fixed that these days?) seems like the difference could actually be a lot narrower in practice.
- calinet6 14y agoNo, that part still might be bad. The advantage it has is that you can run a ton of hosted sites on one mod_php apache server. With Rails, for example, you have to run an environment. Same with many Python apps, or Java, etc. So it has the memory advantage of being able to run multiple sites on one environment. Not that big a deal if you're doing any serious deployment, but a big deal for its ubiquitous nature.
