PHP vs. Python vs. Perl

The PECL extension does not use libmemcache.  You are thinking of a 
different extension that was/is available.  The PECL extension was 
written from scratch in C for use in PHP.

However, the argument is still the same.  A C based client is faster 
than a client in an interpreted language.
