I earn my life with a Gambas CGI script I made for my job. This CGI 
script is actually a full web application used (among many other things) 
for managing all road signs of Paris.

Running Gambas as a CGI script is fast. Only the interpreter, the 
gb.web, gb.db and gb.db.sqlite3 components are loaded.

I used a tiny web server to speed up things again, and response time has 
never been a problem at the moment.

Just try! :-)
