a lot of people seem to like mod_perl, and i think many its users like
it precisely because of its speed. and the only way to speed is keeping
the same interpreter around.

maybe there is some other reason for the unpopularity of httpdapy
than cgi-incompatibility, as suprisingly few people seem to use
it. (or perhaps all its users are just very very quiet :) )

of course there is always zope, but it's like a sledgehammer for lots
of stuff, and pretty complex.
