As of this update, this page is backed by a MySQL database, accessed through PHP. I haven't noticed much of a slowdown yet, but we'll see what happens when I start adding miscellaneous cruft to the database.
Of course, this doesn't mean that I've made an authoring tool for this page yet. In fact, I'm typing all this in on the MySQL monitor. You wouldn't believe how much of a pain it is to have to escape every single-quote!
More details to come, assuming the load doesn't kill the server.
