Firstly would be worth clarifying a few things: Appengine doesnt run PHP - so the website you building can't be AppEngine based. (although can mostly do so via Quercus and Java. Its not really ideal)
AppEngine is a platform for devoloping websites - its not really a place to overload "heavy" processes. Its optimized for running lots of small processes, rather than few heavy ones. So you get small amounts of CPU per request. Its not some magic place where you get access to really powerful servers. Instead you get access to *lots* of small ones. ... so it wouldnt really be suitable to overload just the hashing function to AppEngine (leaving the rest of the website whereever you host it). You possibly could use some other IAAS cloud provider - even Google Compute Engine. Which do give you direct access to computing power - ie basically raw servers (even if they virtual) Probably it would be best to concentrate on optimizing your current code, rather than offloading it. Are you using some 'proper' hashing library to do your iterations? Just blindly calling md5 in a loopl doesnt really help you. Eg there are libaries for doing bcrypt hashing, which will perform better than doing intterations neively in userland code.
