I have a web application project where performances count more than anything else, and I have the choice of the technologies to use.

The language shootout benchmarks that are not really related to web applications.

What would you recommand as the best suitable candidates?

Thanks!

A friend suggested the gwan server on IRC. Looks to be what I was searching but I never heard about it before. Anybody with prior experience on this package? Ease of use, reliability?

Before I leave Apache, I would like to get your thoughts.

LuaJit (Lua) is the fastest scripting language with JIT technology..

if you want the fastest for server side web application (that not always scripting), that would be g-wan.. you can use c, c++, java..

ASP.NET is also fast enough for almost anything, but quite pricey

php with hiphop would be easiest to learn and also fast enough..

it depends on how many request do you need.. and how fast you learn the language ^^ don't forget to cache static data (using memcache or nosql)
