Do Rev CGI Suffer Performance HIts?

[Dan Shafer]

OK, having spent some time in the archives, I think I've answered my  
own question.

It *is* necessary for a Rev CGI script to load separately for each  
instance/call. That's not terribly efficient but it's like all other  
CGI methods except for mod_perl and probably some other even more  
obscure methods.

I ran across a couple of references to a comment perhaps made by  
Scott Raney that load time is pretty instantaneous and therefore  
shouldn't be a performance problem (though it might clearly become a  
*resource* problem on the server).

So I think I'll experiment with this a bit, using Python and Rev for  
a couple of simple but heavily used CGI and see what results I get.
