I am no bozohttpd expert. I had the hope that it uses threads or
synchronus multiplexing in daemon mode. Old style fork(2)ing is OK, but
not that efficient. (I know where to look to avoid it, see below.)

(lighttpd + FastCGI + cgicc + self brewen backend daemon in C++ + DBus
API for internal clients) is what we use at work for a current project.
So I am aware of the limitations of old style CGIs and ways to avoid
them. :-)
