Python VS Java VS PHP

Hey /prog/

Which of the three is generally faster? I know there are some specific cases where one performs much better than it does elsewhere but I am speaking of the common situation.

My apologies for my sheer newfaggotry. You caught me - I'm the same guy. I am only beginning to learn programming on a level beyond the idiocy that was required of me back in highschool and as such ask a lot of questions that must seem really stupid to those in the know.

If you can write something to be faster with some more effort, I do not see a reason why not do so. 'Either do something well or don't do it at all' lingers in my mind.

As I've written in the other thread I need a language that is commonly supported by hosts as sometimes the customer may already have paid/picked the host and domain, hence why I cannot use C or the like.
