> If you're an engineer or web developer I really suggest that you brush up on these things
I’m doing ok, thanks, and a little humility would go a long way :)
I work at a company where we run PHP as both a shared-memory server and also in a more traditional per-request model, both serving millions of requests a day. Separately I’ve created (and maintain) a 200-thousand-line multi-threaded PHP application with over 4 million downloads. I’m reasonably aware of PHP’s performance characteristics.
I’m less up-to-date on Node, admittedly, but it also intuitively makes sense that the V8 engine will be optimised more for in-browser use than serverside use.
