cgi resource use

[Ken Kinder]

Perl and Python have comparible resource requirements. Python takes less
memory, Perl less CPU -- in my experience. Sounds like some lazy admins
don't want to go to the trouble of installing Python to me. You might also
point out that PyApache helps like ModPerl does, and FastCGI works on
both. Your main overhead is probably starting the interpeter, so those
should help up.
