Echo (why is it slow compared to other langauges) php

Why is echo so slow?

I run about a 100line variable in a for loop 5 times...the output is nearly 4/10 of a second.....however in coldfusion, it remains below 1 MS!

whats the logical purpose for this?

I just learned that echo isn't slow....echo is fast no matter how large the variable is....however now whats the reason why asigning a varibale takes half second?

i spilt $var into four things to see if it would be faster then just $var = "whole thing" but its still slow

edit..Sorry for double post, I wasn't thinking

firstly assinging variables in php does not take 1/2 of a second.

sorry for that, i dont know whats up with that...but I moved the page to my normal host:

http://gamingstorm.com/speed.php

http://gamingstorm.com/speed.php?t=Np_rules

I seem to have just made an array mistake.....Im getting the echo to be less then 1ms now and the variable assigning is giving me 2.9087066650391E-05, so thats really fast im taking it

my old source had this:

PHP Code:

  $end1 = $end1[0] + $end1[1 -$start[0] + $start[1]]; 

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/90354-echo-why-slow-compared-other-langauges.html

(which is why it showed some 1second number)

If anyone sees anything wrong with that please post, thanks
