My numbers are all plain old vanilla CGI; fcgi would probably be better yet. My hypothesis is that CGI gets its reputation because it has a relatively high start up cost, so it gets horrible numbers for hello world benchmarks. But, start up is a small percentage of a real world program's actual running time, so for most non-trivial programs, having faster code quickly erases CGI's initial deficit.
