The performance differences between all of the major scripting languages -- Ruby, Python, PHP -- are insignificant, unless you are operating at Facebook scale (and Facebook, which still uses PHP, supports the HipHop project). Your web app bottleneck is not going to be PHP. Plus the PHP community is coalescing around Symfony2, which is a best-of-breed framework. Things have never been better in PHP land.
