+CGI::Fast is a subclass of the CGI object created by CGI.pm. It is
+specialized to work with the FCGI module, which greatly speeds up CGI
+scripts by turning them into persistently running server processes.
+Scripts that perform time-consuming initialization processes, such as
+loading large modules or opening persistent database connections, will
+see large performance improvements.
+
+Note that as CGI::Fast is based on CGI.pm it is no longer advised as a
+way to write Perl web apps.
