The PHP performance though has improved substantially in the past half-decade thanks to going from PHP5 to PHP7 and still new PHP7 releases enhancing the performance even more.

Well, that's it for now with this interesting look at the Ubuntu 12.10 vs. 18.10 performance on this dual Xeon Nehalem-EP server... It was an interesting look.
