CGI.pm is using Apache->request. The setting/retrieval of the global request record under threads is expensive, so the use of Apache->request is deprecated in mp2.
If CGI.pm can be changed to optionally accept $r (as an argument to new(), plus a special accessor to set later) and use it instead, this will improve the performance if Apache->request is not set.
Notice that it's the enabling of 'PerlOptions +GlobalRequest' (it's on by default with 'SetHandler perl-script') that is half of the performance hit (store), and the actual use of Apache->request (get) is the second half.
