title: Will web development in c++ cgi really a huge performance gain?
body: <p>I'm asking the question after reading this article
  <a href="http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=95" rel="noreferrer">http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=95</a></p>
  
  <p>Also isn't it a penalty to use cgi instead of fastcgi ?</p>
  
  <p>Update: why some people do pretend like in answer "that you get 20-30% performance improvement" ? Is it pure guess or is this number coming from solid benchmark ? I have looked at HipHop performance is more in the scale of 10 times.</p>
