What version are Cheetah are you running? I'm also curious if your machine
isn't generating a Template.pyc for Template.py, causing the interpreter to
generate new byte-code for every request.

It's also worth mentioning that in a CGI environment you are going to have some
bit of slow-down with imports to begin with, you can mitigate this by making
sure that a new instance of the interpreter isn't started for each requests,
allowing a single instance service thousands of requests (mod_python has some
options for this IIRC)
