Honestly.... the whole thing needs a rewrite anyway ;) it doesn't matter
what language we write it in. Moving to the MVC model is going to
require reworking such large portions of the code anyway, I doubt we
would see any gain from either staying with the existing code base or
moving to a new one with the same model. Especially considering the
amount of processing we are going to push into SP.

That is what the current plan is :)

It is on my list to re-evaluate the *entire* model.
