Just a note: From what I've seen, most web servers mentioned here run
remotely (and the OP didn't say otherwise), and there is no way to find
out the server's OS from the mail headers of the post. I use XP locally,
myself.
So as awful as Outlook Express is, you can't conclude that the webserver
must be trash.
If the site is hosted remotely, PHP will not run into the hard limits of
the server, but the limits the host set - and those can turn out to be
surprisingly low once the site becomes popular.
However, if you wrote the PHP code yourself, it'd be a good idea to
first look at any parts that might take a lot of resources and try to
optimize them - any redundant string replacement on really long texts,
or fetching big result sets from the database? The code can be made a
lot more efficient just that way.
