Just read your thread, man you got alot going on. Good luck to you.
As far as what I recommend I have switched to Python. Python runs much faster than PHP, and instead of loading,parsing each PHP page on each request you can run Python in an application server. This way all the code is loaded into memory 1 time at start. Not to mention its threading. It has just become a much better system to use, while its not as easy to deploy etc., the code is faster. The biggest problem with Python itself is the fact that most hosts don't support it (unless you have a dedicated server). I have seen to many changes in PHP, and their lack of wanting to be backwards compatible is frustrating. 5.x is not compatible with 4.0 and it appears that possibly future 5.x versions wont be compatible with previous 5.x versions. Most of the last sentence is rumor mostly, so take it with a grain of salt.
