I was going to suggest have a unix socket server interface for 
persistent objects for the cgi to call,
or simple xmlrpc layer between the cgi and backend.
Just thought apache gives extra flexibility for later configuration, 
than say simple http server.
(I was going to say , more secure too, but that might be debatable ).
