For security on my shared web host, I use CGI when I need to run a perl
script as a specific user. My ISP provides CGIwrap for this purpose.
Otherwise, I run all my site using mod_php. It can access the MySQL
database and display the pages and is fast enough.
Since you have a dual core system, I'd use mod_php. You'd be able to benefit
from it immediately with a threaded Apache server. And the site will
scale if you add more CPUs.
