Yes your assumption is correct (at least from my perspective).

"If so, the typical Apache solution to the overhead of CGI is to embed
the language environment in the Apache binary instead of invoking it
every time."

Where can I read more about this? It is not a technique I am familiar with.

It was pioneered by the Perl folks (who have some very ingenious hackers
because Perl attracts those), who loved writing CGI scripts in Perl but
found that the repeated invocation of the Perl interpreter to run the
scripts was a bottleneck, so they figured out how to put the Perl
interpreter inside the Apache binary.

.. this is the way PHP also makes an OK performance - the interpreter is loaded with apache - the PHP_MOD

See Wikipedia for a very brief overview:

and more details here http://www.perl.com/pub/2002/02/26/whatismodperl.html

Since all this was being developed on Unix boxes the code is carefully
tuned to that platform.
