I am a newbie and am in process of deploying a quick App using Strawberry Perl v5.20 Dancer2 framework on Windows 7 64-bit. 
C:\xampp\apache\bin>httpd.exe -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.17 (Win32)
Apache Lounge VC11 Server built:   Oct 13 2015 10:54:13

Using the native CGI as mentioned in the Dancer Deplyoment guide the rendering is very slow ~ 4s compared to use of plackup app.pl ~ 400ms

Below is my working native cgi apache config : 
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName xyz
        DocumentRoot C:/xampp/cgi-bin/xyz/public
        ServerAdmin you@xyz.com
        <Directory "C:/xampp/cgi-bin/xyz/public">
           AllowOverride None
           Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
           AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
        </Directory>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.cgi$1 [QSA,L]
</VirtualHost>

Since my app requires simultaneous access and to improve the performance I am planning to shift to mod_fastcgi.

Is there any change in the above config or in httpd.conf which can help me improve the performance ?

Any other multi-process/threaded alternative for windows ?

I have searched quite a bit and have given up. Need your help in finding out the mod_fastcgi binary for windows supporting Apache 2.4.

I have tried using the one at this location, but it seems to be compiled for Apache 2.2 http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/mod_fastcgi/ Restarting apache with this doesn't work with the below changes. 

#LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
#<IfModule mod_fastcgi>
#  AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
#</IfModule>
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.fcgi$1 [QSA,L]

Thanks a lot for your help.
