You should rethink that. Intraweb, WebSnap and PWU are all faster and
powerfull (because Object Pascal) thant PHP.

'more poweful' is a very subjective thing. For example, several of my PHP
apps run under FreeBSD. Can those apps you mention also run under FreeBSD?
If not, they are not only 'less powerful', but quite frankly also useless to
me.

As far as faster... I doubt their performance is so much better than PHP
that it'd be noticable in a practical sense. Especially when you have a PHP
accellerator/cache installed, and are running php as an apache module. For
most of my apps, the bottle neck is data transfer (and occasionally db
queries), not script execution.

Sorry, I've just never found pascal to be the best option when doing web
apps. I've done a couple in FPC because I wanted to re-use some delphi
code, but they were pretty simple apps.
