Andy,
Sorry about the late reply. I am not opposed to perl/php. I just want something easy, and I would prefer not having to set up Mapserver and GeoServer.
Concerning the slow server: The person running the site added more RAM, so the system is not agonizingly slow. In addition it sounds like they are going to get a new machine next year. They said that they are okay with the performance so I am going to let it go and just hope the new server will help.
