Holger,

OK, well, this certainly does not seem to be the problem.

FastCGI only helps in avoid high startup overhead - usually in the context
of expensive database connections.

I'm afraid I don't know why you are seeing such performance degredation
but it is definately not typical.  You might want to turn on debugging to
see if the time is actually spent in drawing the raster layer.   Beyond that
I'm not too sure how to address the issue.

Best regards,
