Depends on the resources we are talking about, and the # of requests. - a servlet engine is another application to manage and administrate. More sys admin work. - servlet apps are a bit harder to write and install properly vs. Perl CGI. More inhouse dev work (if they support that kind of thing) as well as, again more sys admin work. - for a low # of hits , the overhead of running the servlet engine is a greater load on the system than a few CGI hits. - the Apache mod_perl library is very efficient. Sort of like a servlet engine for Perl.
