That depends...
For typical PHP4 applications (little to no class stuff) I've heard of
benchmarks showing PHP5 to be slower than PHP4. These issues should be
fixed with the 5.1 release. If you intend to make use of OOP features
then PHP5 is not only faster but a lot of them simply aren't available
with PHP4.
