Yeah... I've been messing with ASP and ActiveX (in C++) as well,
I got the impression that ASP is a lot slower, but otoh, I wouldn't know
how you can implement something ActiveX'ish under linux.  So the
disadvantage I see with Php would be that you're stuck with the
in-language features, plus the external bindings it gives you (notably
MySQL), I don't know if and how you can extend the language the
way you can with ASP by writing your own objects to act upon..
