PHP and MySQL are capable of handling a high work load, but that has nothing to do with users uploading large files. Any user who is trying to upload large files with a slow dial-up connection is at the mercy of the connection bandwidth. The server-side language and database will not make much difference. It can't speed up the transfer.
Do I understand your question correctly? If not, please elaborate.

You may also want to check with your hosting company their server hardware performance, i.e. gigabit networ adaptor, gigabyte ram etc.
