*YOU* may not notice a slowdown, especially when it's a new site and
you're the only one on it. But it takes a fair amount of system
resources to set up the PHP environment. And on a shared host, you're
taking resources from other, well-behaved sites.

Why do you think your hosting company doesn't allow it?
