Heh, OK, I was presuming the ability to run some kind of
process monitor and making the first cut ;-) Let's insert the
caveats "assuming a sensible database..." and also a "...then
given a non-compute intensive perl layer..."

My best speedup on a gig was 1000x. 10x from adding an index,
10x from mod_perling and 10x from making one machine into 5
dual process boxes.

PS: I'm usually a Template Toolkit user, but my current work
was originally H::T and CGI::Application oriented. I've thrown
HTML::FillInForm and it's rather sweet.

H::T does just enough in just the right way.
