Please, do real-world tests. 10% slower startup time isn't significant in
most cases, where interpreter startup time is about 0.1-30% of total
execution time of a script that does do something real.

Why support obsolete interfaces like CGI and lazy-bind general purpose apps
in favor of few unrealistic use cases where anything performance-sensitive
supposed to be running in form of a CGI script? Not only php-fpm and mod_php
are much faster than CGI by themselves, but, unlike CGI, they allow bytecode
caching.
