How it works is, the Server Queries return a list of ips, then you query each one yourself. Hence why an application is optimal for this.

What... are you talking about?
PHP is very efficient, and is well-suited for "longer running queries." It's an incorrect myth that low-level languages like C produce "faster" code. Unless you're doing data processing, the difference in software latency is negligible, and if you take into account the development process and optimization, PHP and other high-level languages can out-perform low-level languages.
