Not that I've found yet :)

One of my AGIs sets almost 600 channel variables.

It (written in C) takes all of 1/100 of a second to lookup the variables 
from 2 tables in a MySQL database and set all of the variables.

You are violating the AGI protocol. First, you have to read the AGI 
environment. Then, for every request, you must read the response.

You will save yourself a lot of time and hair if you use an established 
library.

Thanks in advance,
