I know it's popular to hate on PHP. But when you do it right, you can turn pages out fast enough that single digit milliseconds are important. I'm not a fan of Hack or how FB structures their PHP; but some of their pages are pretty quick. Personally, with just regular PHP, my baseline is about 10 ms for a minimum page, and 50 ms for something that's complex and maybe has a few database queries. That's not the quickest thing in the world, and not all of my PHP goes that fast, but single digit milliseconds are still significant at that scale.
