As requested by /msg from mirod on Benchmarking CGI::Simple is just under 3 times faster performing the most common function - getting the value of a param. It is variably faster on other common operations. Load times are more difficult to evaluate accurately. I would be interested in what you find. 

use Benchmark;
use CGI;
use CGI::Simple;
$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} = 'foo=bar&baz=boo';
$q = new CGI;
$s = new CGI::Simple;
timethese(250000, {'CGI' =>'$q->param("baz")', 'Simple' => '$s->param(
+"baz")'});

__DATA__
Benchmark: timing 250000 iterations of CGI, Simple...
       CGI: 27 wallclock secs (27.19 usr +  0.00 sys = 27.19 CPU) @ 91
+94.56/s (n=250000)
    Simple: 10 wallclock secs ( 9.99 usr +  0.00 sys =  9.99 CPU) @ 25
+025.03/s (n=250000)

Update

For a more in depth analysis see CGI::Simple vs CGI.pm - Is twice as fast good enough?
