Probably same here. I have written a batch-type program in PHP but would 
probably not do it again because I think there are better languages for 
that. This program walks a directory structure, generating thumbnails of 
all the images it finds. Its companion (still in PHP under Apache) 
generates menus if thumbnails on the fly. Its first cut generated the 
thumbnails as needed, but that was deadly slow, hence the overnight batch 
directory walker.

I ended up rewriting the thumbnail generating program in Java and dumping 
the PHP version when I needed a non-trivial enhancement (the ability to 
generate permanent HTML menu pages. As a bonus, the Java version is 
significantly faster which is quite surprising considering its run is 
fairly short - 2-3 seconds on a typical run when it finds nothing to do 
in the 600+ directories it looks at.
