Every language loses benchmarks against every other language. That's not surprising. Since you didn't provide a specific benchmark, it's hard to say why it lost.

I disagree; but ultimately, it depends on how you're doing it. You can beat or exceed compiled languages in some cases. PHP allows some low-level stuff directly implemented in C and also the high-level stuff you're used to in interpreted languages.
