I think it is general tradeoffs. at least between C and PHP: PHP is nice so far as it is fairly good at generating web-pages. a C based CGI binary has a slight advantage when it comes to non-HTML content, as it can do a few more advanced tricks, and allows sending pretty much any kind of content (I suspect also streams, but would need to confirm their behavior with more tests, basically to confirm if it is actually streaming the content, as opposed to buffering it). yes, I control my own server, so getting the code compiled for it isn't an issue. ASP.NET exists, but personally I have never used it, so can't say much about it beyond this.
