WSGI would enable you to write a persistent application that sits
around waiting for requests and returns responses for them as and
when, as opposed to a simple CGI script that gets started each time a
request comes in, and terminates once it's returned the response.

So it's really about startup time - if your scripts are just doing
something simple and quick, WSGI is likely overkill.
