60% faster doesn't sound to me a large enough difference to select a web stack.
Till date I assumed node was probably ~60 times faster than php, mostly by interpreting results of alioth benchmarks.

Benchmarks with N=1 are complete bullshit and you cannot use it at all to reason what will happen with a different N.
Another annoying issue is how code is written. Well optimized code will still perform like shit in interpreters like PHP while typical JS code I see can be improved substantially (10x-100x) by writing code in a way that V8 expects. This speedup potential is usually completely ignored.
