performance isn't my goal other than the general attempt to choose the 
best performing solution within all the other constraints. When I was 
project lead on many projects at my old business, it saddened me to see 
how many programmers forget that performance needs to be a thought in 
everything we do lest we produce a great solution but a cludge on 
resources and performance.  Without performance as a backthought in all 
your decisions, you can also produce a great solution in testing but 
performs horibly when put under load, or when the load grows as most 
businesses hope.

So far, the performance of my app is stunning, and this is over the web. 
 I've been very happy with the performance of PHP when it comes to page 
building.
