My mod_perl handlers usually end up a little faster than my php scripts, and my jsp clocks in at about the same. I wrote an apache module in C once and I would say that it was only a wee bit faster than a mod_perl handler.

Don't misunderstand: I use php almost everyday, it's perfect for quick web dev but I use perl every single day. I've done things in perl I would never think of doing with php like a pop3 mail server, a windows gui prog using the TK libs, a distributed web crawler, etc.
