You have to think about people, who are concerned in performance. Performance is relevant in big web applications. And I think, that in such big applications security is one of the most important things. I think, no responsible person would decide to use php for a performance critical application when he/she knows, that there is a security leak. In this way, I'm sure, that security is more important.
