Fortunately for me, I don't have a bunch of user profiles...well....I guess that's not strictly true. The users do have to log in, but I mearly check their password against thier ldap info and if it passed then let them in the page.
The amount of work I'm doing is not that intense, in the sense that each page in my sight is "mostly" independent of each other. Any data that does need to be reloaded from previous pages/entries are read from an xml file (Since the whole point of the page is to date the data and place it into an xml file).
But I can see how straight CGI would be slower compared to the alternitives....perhaps it's time I look into an upgrade. :p Arevos mentioned mod_python and CherryPy...I'll have to look into those two and see what is required for setup. I've never worked with either, but by the sounds of things, it would be worth my time.
