Hi!

Is a Trabant (built in GDR, maximum speed ~ 107 km/h) faster than a
BWM? It depends. If the lights turn green a BMW driver sees the back 
of a Trabant due to the Trabant's low mass. After some hundred meters 
the BWM is in lead.

Is Ruby faster than PHP? Again the question is: Given what scenario?
