How now, do you figure PHP is all that slow? Since you have a background in PHP why not use it? Maybe your not skinning the cat right? PHP is already used in admin apps and it works. Create a Three Tier Web Application to run on the one admin server. Calls can be made via rpc or xml web services to the clients. May take a while to think it out in your brain but it will work. I do it with .Net.
