    PHP, like all scripting languages, suffers from having to parse all script files each time a page is displayed.

    Speak for yourself, PHP weenie. My Perl code is parsed and "compiled" only when I restart the FastCGI handler(s) for my Catalyst web app(s). My templates are (I'm sure) parsed on each invocation though. The situation is probably similar for other real scripting languages e.g Python and Ruby.
