I'll send you my benchmark suite separately so you can
submit your results for http://www.chamas.com/bench. I have
never seen modperl handler faster than static HTML.

Yes, each environment delivers different headers, but that's
just what they do. The Hello World test is to show the
overhead of running in a particular environment. Generally
people only add code from there, and not optimize HelloWorld
further.
