Sounds like you're basically forced to use IIS.  You could consider using
Webware, which provides a persistent threaded application server (WebKit)
and also provides a CGI adapter written in fast C code (wkcgi.exe) that
communicates with the app server using a socket.

You still incur the CGI process-starting overhead on every request, but at
least it's a lightweight C program rather than a larger Python process.

See http://webware.sourceforge.net for details.
