Looks like you're right about the slowness of importing Cheetah.Template,
and I'm guessing that it has to do with the fact that "import Cheetah"
doesn't really do much, but Cheetah.Template imports the rest of the
Cheetah universe.  Take a look at Template.py, and note that Template.py
and Parser.py are the two biggest modules right up front, and Parser.py
does lots of work on import.

I would suggest you try to get off CGI as your best course of action and
use some persistent framework instead.
