As others have said -- you are violating the protocol.

Asterisk sends the "AGI environment" to the AGI via STDIN. If you don't 
read it, you are violating the protocol.

For a AGI that is called repeatedly, maybe you should consider 
implementing it in a compiled language.

You can execute XXX AGIs written in C in the time it takes to load the 
Perl interpreter and parse your script.
