I agree. I tested the two in Chrome in order to see what kind of performance loss I would get. I was shocked when the CGI proxy gave a 1.5-2x gain over the Apache proxy. I'm sure there's more going on here, but in this case it's a win-win.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] CGI as go-between
Justin, I'm pleased that HTTPAPI worked. However, it seems counter intuitive that it would perform better than a reverse proxy. I don't get that part. Wouldn't the reverse proxy simply forward the request to the web-service, then funnel back the response?
