Some times ago, for fun, I wrote a small C fastcgi wrapper too, for lighttpd in my case. There is less than 1k lines of C, and it's very basic but works.
The idea is to write a page in C, compile it, then load in on-the-fly on a fastcgi prefork. Each pre-fork keep the loaded page on memory (or reload it if changed). I never benchmarked it, but I found the idea fun.
