Regular CGI still has the overhead of starting a new process for every  
request. PHP without CGI is likely to be faster than D with CGI.

OP is looking for best performance, so CGI is not a good recommendation -  
FastCGI/webserver module/built-in webserver are the way to go.

I've had great experience with using an HTML/jQuery frontend with a D  
backend (built-in HTTP server which only serves static files and AJAX  
requests).
