Yes.

If your AGI, FastAGI, or module are all written in c[++], the code that 
implements your logic will execute at the same speed.

If implementing your code as a module allows you to access internal 
Asterisk data or code more efficiently, it may improve performance. But 
implementing a module will be far more expensive (in $$$) over the life of 
the project.

While creating a new process is typically a very "expensive" (in CPU 
resources) process, any reasonably modern processor can create hundreds of 
processes per second.

Before switching to FastAGI, why do you think process creation is the 
limiting factor in your quest for improved performance?

How about some details about exactly what you are doing and what your AGIs 
are doing?
