cgi+perl+SSI or php?

[Lord Assmore]

I have to decide upon a solution for generating dynamic HTML on my sites.

Which of these two solutions, cgi+perl+SSI or php, is the best when it comes to:
- reliability
- fastness
- server load

Most important, I want to serve gallery pages for TGP's dynamically, and I'd like to be sure to use the fastest solution with as little server load as possible.

So you server knowledgeable ppl, speak up and enlighten me !

I'm no expert, but the web host I was with started to complain about the load mu cgi scripts were putting on the server. After switching to PHP, I've never had a complaint.

We use some asp (not so good) and cgi and php. PHP is the best out of those, but now we are about to go all out with python. Does anyone have any experiences with python server pages?
