Java vs Perl (file uploading script) - CPU/Memory server resource hog...

[Joseph0]

For the purpose of this thread, here is the scenario: 100 people are uploading 500 MB files at the same time. Each person has the exact computer configurations and same Internet connections.

Which of the following programs would take up less server resources (CPU and Memory) for the particular task mentioned above? Also, would any of the following allow faster uploading to the users that were uploading files?

btw, I forgot to add. The reason I am asking this question is because I am currently using a PHP file upload script on my server. I was told it uses too much server/system recourses (on the web server I am hosting with) and that using a JAVA or Perl script to perform this exact function would take up less system resources.

Thanks

It might be useful to post this question in one of the relevant forums like PHP and post links to it in the other forums like Java and Perl.
