It's actually even worse. You're actually loading CGI only once. If you'd reload CGI every time in the loop, you'd get far worse figures.

You could do that by deleting 'CGI.pm' from %INC. You'd then probably get a lot of warnings on redefined subs, so you should rather do something like 

delete $INC{'CGI.pm'};
no warnings 'redefine';  # or 'redefined'? Gah, I hate that!
require CGI;
my $cgi = CGI->new;
print OUT $cgi->header;

Also, CGI->new parses the form parameters, you should take that into account. It's something you probably want to do anyway.
