mod_perl was there, it performed better but little bit extra memory footprint. I don't know why mod_perl was known to very few and PHP become popular.

So many cgi scripts were written with no localization and so many programmers of that era had embraced the sloppiness of lack-of-persistence that it was hard to port existing cgi to mod_perl even assuming they bothered to try and grok the "voodoo" of persistence in a single finite process CGI world.
