Well, it's my understanding that compiled languages perform much better than scripting languages for this kind of operating, due to the fact that the script runs on top of the scripting engine, which in turn runs on top of the web server.
The time it takes is marginal, we are not talking about a word processor or painting program. A shopping cart needs more ressources than a webhosting control panel and guess what most of them are coded in? Scripted languages.
