Not considering benchmarks of "hello-world" style apps, is 
FastCGI/SCGI/mod_proxy really noticably slower than using mod_python for 
real applications?

Apparently developing something like the Apache perchild MPM is hard. 
Because it didn't get fixed and it had several problems, it got finally 
scrapped in Apache 2.2.

There were/are several attempts to develop a replacment, none of them 
ready for production yet, according to their developers:
