IME, simple mod_perl handlers typically run around 50% as fast as
HTML static pages. Your hello world benchmark seems to be slightly
misleading in this respect, since the content-length is small
relative to the header size.
For your HTML Static, I would guess that the headers delivered are
significantly larger than the ones returned by your modperl handler.
Hence for 50000 hits, there is a significant discrepancy in the
total bytes delivered. This skews the hits/sec numbers in the
favor of content handlers that deliver shorter headers.
To use HTML Static as a baseline comparison for dynamic content
handlers, I think you should ensure that the headers delivered
are comparable to those that are dynamically generated.
Best.
