For speed, apparently it does matter -- with large websites. Check that Training wheels again article.

Did you read the entire thread?

Specifically I am thinking of this post.

Secondly all that that thread showed, even with the original numbers, is that you can do better on performance. But it does not compare, for instance, the cost of buying more machines versus having someone discover how to delete your customer database.

Now if you want to learn more about performance, go here. Those slides have extremely good advice about how to wind up being incredibly fast.

For the record, he uses CGI.pm.

Oh yes, I did. Infact, if you reread that specific post, you'll see what the benchmark (and I) are saying. Infact, let me repeat it:
• Perl script, with use Apache::Registry and use CGI.pm: 30 hits/sec
• PHP script, pure: 55 hits/sec
• Perl script, with only use Apache::Registry: 62 hits/sec
• Perl script, using only a dedicated Apache handler: 69 hits/sec
For the record, yes, but that's not my point.
