And what does that have to do with your question? Is it just more whining?

Your question clearly demonstrated that you understood the difference 
between AGI and FastAGI being execution of a program (binary or 
otherwise) vs. opening a TCP socket. You then claimed that you didn't 
see how there could be any noticeable performance difference between the 
two. This has absolutely nothing to do with Asterisk docs (or Asterisk 
at all for that matter), it's basic Unix/Linux knowledge.

How about this: write yourself a bash script that runs some simple 
program (that outputs a line of text) via normal execution 1,000,000 
times, and compare it to a version that opens a TCP socket and receives 
the same line of text from an existing script listening on that socket. 
You'll probably be shocked at the difference, and that doesn't even take 
into account database connections or any other 'expensive' operations.
