Adriano,
It really depends on what PHP is expected to do prior to serving
the content. Some things to consider:
Are you loading a bunch of modules in your php.ini?
What is the script doing? Is it reading/writing files?
Including files? If so, are they local or remote?
What happens if you take a static HTML page and rename it with
a .php extension and compare load times?
The last of the questions will be of the most help in determining
which of the first two would be more applicable, because when you
rename the extension, PHP will be loaded by Apache. This means:
a.) If the performance is degraded by comparison, it's a
slow-loading PHP engine.
b.) If the benchmarks are comparable, then it's likely
something in your PHP script(s).
