Sorry, but I don't agree with you. 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.
