Before or after I stop laughing? With that sort of volume, Chuck could probably run the app on his phone with room to spare. More seriously, whilst performance should be a factor in technology selection it isn't the only one. Given the the low volume I would suggest that supportability is far more important. If the client knows PHP and is comfortable with it and doesn't know isn't comfortable with Java/Tomcat then I would go with PHP.
