um, thats somewhat mixed up. user -> browser -> apache -> php that
interprets your script -> OS function
with a native compiled language like C++, its user -> browser -> apache
-> compiled C++ binary -> OS function
not really -that- different, as theres far more overhead in all the rest
of the process than in the actual script or program,unless its doing
something very computationally intensive.
also note, PHP is a preloaded module, while your C++ program probably
gets forked on every webpage, unless you write it as an apache
module... ooops.
