I have some of my family tree on my website
http://www.amason.net/
It runs on PHP, and I am not using the SQL db option behind it.
I can tell you it doesn't have anything as powerful as you describe, and
seems to run fine for me. But then again, It hasn't had probably more than
2 or 3 users on it at a time.
HTH,
Brian
