Since you're going to be doing pike development, and are thinking
about building an rxml based system, why not just use a pike-based web
server in the first place? I've run older versions of Caudium, for
example, on embedded boxes and have had good results (for example, the
netgear readynas devices, which run an embedded sparc processor
running debian). I didn't even strip it down, which would have
probably improved performance considerably.
Alternately, if CGI performance is a problem, you could use a
persistent pike interpreter, like ScriptRunner[1] to speed things up.
I've used it plus lighttpd using SCGI, and have been quite satisfied.
ScriptRunner also has support for what I call "PSP", which enables
embedded Pike in html pages ala JSP.
