Somewhat, though a lot of the CGI flames from the day were coming
from unix machines.

There's two factors (I speculate) that contributed to it:

a) Linux used to be slower at forking and execing than it is now.

b) Most cgi apps were Perl, which meant starting up the interpreter,
   compiling the file, etc. in addition to the fork/exec.


(b) is where the difference with D comes in - it's already compiled,
so no need to take that extra step.
