There is alot of very badly written PHP code from people who do not know how to program and who never learned in university how to do it properly.
The problem is not with PHP but rookie programmers, hosts running outdated versions of PHP on slow/shared hardware
PHP could be extremely fast, hell just look at Facebook or Wikipedia

Yeah, PHP is extremely fast. In most cases, slowdowns are casued by Apache, or wrongly designed database with a lots of different queries. But even your slow hard drives can cause disk overload, which makes your database performance slow. Use RAID 10 with HDDs, and RAID 5 for SSDs. I prefer samsung 840 pro series, they are really undestroyable 
I suggest you to never use cPanel or so. You should install and configure your server manually. It worth the extra time, cPanel causes much overhead to your server.
I have a debian server, with well optimized nginx, PHP and MySQL. It serves tens of millions of requests daily. I could even use memcached to improve performance.
It is just a Xeon E3 with 32GB DDR3 and SSD disks.
Also, do not believe people who say you need X*Gbit bandwidth for a blog, or forum. You only need that huge bandwidth if you offer big file downloads or streaming video.

Actually PHP is one of the fastest backend programming languages nowadays. It is also the most popular so far and much less expensive than its competitor ASP.NET
It is relatively easier as well but it definitely needs loads of practice to be considerably good at. But like most of the programming languages, it takes lifetime to master as it is always renewing and adding new features.

I think PHP in it's pure scripting form is pretty fast but once you start using it within a framework, I assume the heavy lifting done by
libraries kills it's performance.
libraries kills it's performance.
But still i like c language..... I don't know....whatever, i know little bit but c is my favorite.....
I have made 1 program ...can anybody tell me the output ... :P

PHP is very quick, and will probably be here to stay for quite a bit longer. For me the slow down usually ends up being asset retrieval for the site.
