You may also try Zope (http://www.zope.org)

AFAIK you can save the CGI startup costs as PHP is loaded as a module in
Apache. If it has persistent database connections (like Zope) then you
also
save the DB connection setup and so it can easyly beat C CGI on anything
but most compute-intensive tasks.
