Just a few thoughts, and not sure if this is going to work or not. Since 
you mentioned that it is very fast for some system programs to export 
the list to a log file, I guess maybe you can customize your own 
executable file, and use it like a CGI. Suppose this program can dump
the list and export an HTML file in your temporal directory, then you
can call this external command from your script (such as PHP) directly 
and after that load the exported static file. 

I believe loading a static file won't take that long.
