If you're concerned about large traffic volume, you should give some
serious considerations to mod_perl.  It, and select scripts, will remain
resident therefore avoiding all of the costly setup imposed by CGI. 
It's quick, well tested, and a pretty popular option.   Popularity  may
sound trivial, but exploits get fixed in popular apps long before those
in obscure ones.  It can be a bit memory heavy, but memory is cheap. 
PHP is cake to program in and pretty useful, but it's SLOW and rather
ugly to admin. 

Thank You,
