I can say about subj running on wintel systems (IIS). I've successfully setup mapserv cgi on win2003 & iis 6 in fastcgi mode using extension from iis.net. Visually it has nearly 2-3x performance effect. Response speed increases because of mapserv processes keep their instances (more than one in iis "web garden powered" app pool) for future use. Winthout fastcgi I've observe cpu overloading. Performance effect may be bigger with burden. I have a great experience of developing wep apps using c# mapserver wrapper - this is great opportunity to use c# power, linq to objects, lambda expressions, asp.net script services/methods, json serializers, to extend mapserver classes with new methods (using C# extension methods) - and this is REALLY helpful! But in spite of wrapper uses swig technology (native c++ code calls) - image generation is slightly slower vs mapserv.exe (but some times more correct with peculiar image extents ... never mind). Also mapscript c# allow you to use gdal c# and NTS.net.
