Yes, probably. That's not specific to PHP and Perl, Python or Ruby are pretty much in the same kind of situation: you can use all these languages to write a XML parser or a XSLT processor but the execution is much faster if you use one which is written in C (or C++) and "binded" to your scripting language. This would be true for Java too but the difference in speed is smaller and in the Java universe, people are more attached a form of portability achieved by "100% pure java" applications than in other the universe of scripting languages. As an application developer this shouldn't make that much difference to you. These C binding are available on almost any platform. What's important is that you have the XML functions you need (which should be the case for PHP), how they are implemented is secondary IMO.
