Op is probably missing the point: 2400 requests/second is abysmally low on a modern 16 core cpu.

At the very least go for FastCGI, for christ’s sake…

I think he was just simply trying to revisit CGI and see how it compares from back in the day. Doing FastCGI would have been pointless if that was his primary goal.
2400 requests is somewhat decent. Having seen companies like amazon, where their website backend can only handle a few hundred RPS per box, 2400 ain't that bad.
