Not if you run it with something like mod_python. CGI is slow because it
keeps firing up interpreters. Things like mod_python (or Zope for
that matter) make this unnecessary; a python interpreter stays in
memory. Unless there's something else about CGI making it slower? I 
can't imagine what, though.
