Why is the node version more than 10 times slower than the PHP and Python versions?by efortis on 5/24/22, 8:16 AM
On my M1 Pro:
python3 -c 'print (123)' 0.02s user 0.01s system 86% cpu 0.036 total

I don't know how large Python and PHP runtimes are, but I know python is often stripped down to a few kilobytes for embedded systems.
I guess if you preload the runtimes before executing these commands, the execution should be fairly similar for each one (near zero, more depending on I/O).
