I will try mod_fastcgi/mod_fcgi and see if I can reproduce your
"dazzling fast" experience. In the past I had some issues with fcgi,
but I will try again.

Well, let me clarify -- I need CGI for another program, so that can
continue to use Apache2 CGI. The Dancer portion can continue to use
mod_fastcgi and speed up. Fwiw, the other program works with Apache
CGI very fast, so that is not an issue.
