This is on dual PIII 500's with mega ram. How complex are your CGI? trivial CGI apps here run 10 per second on a pentium 233 with 64MB ram that also happens to be my workstation, or 2 per second when a regular CGI in perl that uses CGI.pm (a fairly heavy startup penalty). I strongly recommend FCGI (or something similar) when you need speed with your CGI scripts, especially when they're in perl.
