Running PHP has no performance advantage over compiled CGI scripts / 
Perl, that's right. It's up to the interpreter of course but process 
starting overhead should be the same. However, PHP allows easier 
inline scripting, as you have identified.

I haven't been even close to the usage patterns you describe, so I 
can't comment on that...
