I'd first try the simple CGI setup and see how performance is. I've
never felt the need to change the setup into a more complicated
mod_perl setup to speed up the web interface, as performance is just
fine for us using the plain CGI version. It doesn't feel slow at all.
Sure, if I'd go and measure performance, mod_perl will probably be
better, but backups won't complete any faster. As Les said: it's just
the web interface.
