Perhaps it’s reasonable to reflect on how performant CGI was and still is. Right now that site is probably receiving more traffic than it ever has before and seems to be ably holding its own against the hug of death. Of course CGI has scaling issues, that is not deniable, but it is still a quite strong technology. I would argue that the main reason to avoid CGI is not for performance reasons, few sites will encounter those usage levels, but rather because CGI coding patterns ultimately end up breaking MVC best practices.
