• How much output are you generating from these scripts?
• Have you been able to profile the areas where your application is spending its time?
• What are the logs saying?
• What type of input is being sent to each?

Try putting a

  use Time::HiRes;
  warn "Begin: " . Time::HiRes::time;
[download]

at the beginning, and an analogous

  warn "End: " . Time::HiRes::time;
[download]

at the end of the called portions of your script (if there are blocks that are called each time before and after execution, those would be ideal locations - not knowing what they are, if they exist, I cannot say) will at least give you a feel of how much the perl side is contributing to the delay.

There are quite a few points where things other than the Perl script contributes to the delay. Look at the time spent in Apache/IIS, the OS TCP/IP stack, and the client side of things as well. All things work together for the delay of those who write code.
