Possibly. There are a number of PHP accelerator products (free and non-free) which make PHP faster.

My guess is that with these, yes it is faster.

Don't know about without though.

Most web apps spend most of their time doing stuff with databases anyway
* ASP hosting is more expensive than PHP
This is obviously true, look at any ISP's price list. But it's not normally that big a difference.

* PHP database applications are more secure than ASP
Database apps are exactly as secure as you make them.

There are a lot of common error which affect PHP, ASP, MS SQL, MS Access, but that doesn't mean that those technologies are insecure, just people aren't using them correctly.
