Unless you set NoState 1, Apache::ASP will create the expensive $Session & $Application objects. Further, because ab does not remember cookies set, a new $Session will be created each request, so you end up with a session DoS attack of sorts with ab. Apache::ASP is slower than Apache::Registry however because it creates a richer application development environment, with embedded perl, a event model driven by global.asa, & objects like $Response/$Request already created that do a lot of the work for you. The benchmarks at http://chamas.com/bench/ will show you that of the perl application enviroments, Apache::ASP does pretty well on big scripts like h2000, but is just about as slow on trivial HelloWorld because it has significant per request overhead. The benchmarks run with NoState 1 set. At the end of the day, figure out how fast you need your application to go, and make sure it gets there, but don't spend any extra time on performance that you do not need to.
