You're running a Micro$oft product. That explains the slowness of these boards.
A little suggestion, change the web server (if possible) to Linux and apache. this will 1. speed up your page request times, and secondly decrease the ease to which some one could break into the server.
You're preaching to the choir, brother. Problem is, I just gotta have my GUI. And it's gotta be MY GUI, and not one that changes month to month and add-on to add-on. I'm just NOT that l33t! :-)
(oh, if Henry pipes up claiming that he IS, just ignore him)
Your GUI, no prob's use XWindows, you can even make it look like Win95/NT if you want.
As far as command line stuff is concerned, you probably wouldn't even need it as everything (with only a few exceptions, of which you would probably never need.) can be done from the gui.
Hey, I've just had a brain wave, get Matrix-Orbital to employ me as the web adminstrator and I'll make this thing fly quicker than it ever has....(Yes this would mean a box rebuild) and make it easier to update other web pages as well.
