Since people were running multi user systems on UNIX on 64k of ram in the

investigate tools that allow you to profile usage so that you can see which
parts of your code suck the most time and can be improved upon.
As others have mentioned - postgresql. Superior database, scalable above 8
cpus, unlike mysql. And everything comes with it, unlike mysql, where you
have to pay for "enterprise features" (at least 4.x, no idea about 5.x).
If you want to run it on a default openbsd box - apache 1.3.
On language - remember, PHP's design goal (as late as v3) was for complete
non-programmers to be able to pick it up and write programs immediately.
You can imagine how that can cause issues for security. Most libraries or
add-ons you install for PHP require you to run in insecure mode. PHP is the
opensource answer to visual basic, in the "yes, we can create absolute
insecure crap too" sense. If you want to do something similar to what
openbsd is doing, use C.
