But these micro-optimzations are the wrong solution.

Better use something like mod_perl or fastcgi where you have a persistent program in memory, so you don't have to deal with module loading and other startup costs for every hit.

    I'll be implementing a FastCGI version and I've been helping the FastCGI team out with their site. But for the time being I've been working hard on all the micro optimizations and it's been paying off.

      In the short term it often does. In the long term, you lose so much in opportunity costs that you might as well not even bother.
