So many questions are generated by a question like this.
For example, is the user informed that the "process is running", come back later for your answer, or "your results will be ready in about x seconds/minutes."?
If it were me, I would start by considering changing that PHP script to Perl, if for no other reason than to reduce the number of languages by one.
Your back-end is already working, though slowly. I would also examine those 'stand-alone' software pieces and see if what they do can be done better(maybe by Perl). Another question: are these jobs that are running somehow attached to a session?
Hope these thoughts are helpful, and best of luck with your project.
...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it... Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...
