This is already why the author did though; the original benchmark that he replied to used Cheerio vs. phpQuery, but he rationalized that that was a losing battle anyways, and decided to test Cheerio vs. ReactPHP -- which requires a non-standard PHP extension called libevent.

It's not the phpQuery part that was replaced. It's the file_get_contents() call, which does the http get that he moved to the react framework.

So my point stands... he already deviated from what was originally tested in order to favor PHP.

Why would that be acceptable, but not a simple config change for NodeJS?
