A client I am working with is going to send a redesign/recode his current functioning site to India. Appears two firms have told him PHP functions faster then asp.net.

The site is for clients to log into that they can see reports of their customers. The database is larger (40-60G) in data.

They will be moving from vbscript/.net/MS SQL Server to PHP/MySQL.

Is this true, php is faster then .net?
