I'll run a benchmark
I upgraded the test wiki container on my laptop from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, which also necessitated a platform switch from schroot to systemd-nspawn. The benchmark is thus approximately native performance on a Core i5 4210U @ 1.7 GHz. I killed the usual CPU hogs so that everything was quiet in top. Then I ran benchmarkParse.php on a copy of the [[Australia]] article, including templates, with --loops 3.
The results were
PHP 7.0: 1.59 seconds HHVM 3.21: 1.75 seconds
So PHP 7 was significantly faster on this test.
Note that I ran HHVM with JIT enabled; total wall clock time including compilation and warmup was about 75 seconds, compared to 13 seconds for PHP 7.
The test wiki has Scribunto with LuaStandalone. Debug logging was disabled for this test.
