Gerald is too modest. On the simplest of scripts, the Hello
World bench, the fastest Embperl config smokes Apache::ASP's best
by at least 45%, on the same box. Check out:
http://www.chamas.com/hello_world.html
A simple mod_perl handler is in turn is 30+% faster than Embperl.
Your choice of embedded environment is ultimately going to be based
on what platform and corresponding features you want to develop
under, as they are all extremely fast, and the startup speed
differences will be amortized as your scripts get longer.
