PHP and node.js neck to neck? I'd really like to see the chart showing RAM usage for these tests.

  This has puzzled/surprised me over multiple benchmarks. I had assumed that node.js would be faster at pretty much everything than PHP (especially for concurrency). Time and time again though, these benchmarks show PHP outperforming node.js. I'm sure node.js will have lower RAM usage than PHP but as I'm more interested in reqs/s, I'm going to reconsider using node.

    PHP is just a thin layer on top of C. Of course it will perform decently. PHP frameworks are usually designed in a dumb way and thus perform badly. Usually they load all or most of their files into memory with every request, even though only couple files would be enough.

      I'd really like to see Yii framework included in the test as they claim to only load what's needed.
