Of course, which is why a cgi build is /also/ useful. But I just don't see
performance complaints, they are almost always reliability or configuration
issues. If you are running that close to the edge that the 15% performance
penalty kills your box, you were well past time to scale to more boxes or
to review the PHP code itself for performance issues.
