The first question to consider is whether the problem really needs to be slow. Is there some bottleneck in your processing which can be eliminated, or some repetition of operations which can be simplified? profile the code to determine where the bulk of processing is used up. Can an alternate algorithm provide better performance?

If it really is more than just a few seconds, and the results don't need to be spectacularly up-to-date, run it automatically from cron, and store the results in a file or in a database. But do you really want to store a HTML page? Or might it be better to have the program store simple data, maybe stored as key: value pairs, or as a fast-loading YAML file. That way, usage is not limited to the web but is available to any program.
