Maybe also the fact that PHP interpreter is written in C and a bit of C++, so C kind of "does everything for them"
Still, this makes no sense since most JS engines are written in C++, and Python is the only one more or less self-sufficient, albeit major implementations often use other languages as a source. And because it should've been C, not C++
PHP has ben JITed for a while now too.
I don't recall it being known as slow compared to python even before that.
