Splitting it up into several smaller files won't help, though it may make your script more maintainable.

It can help, if certain functions of the CGI are used more often than others. Splitting those off into a much smaller script will mean faster overall access times for the system as a whole.

That's just a band-aid, of course. Something like mod_perl is definitely the way to go in the long term.
