Fastcgi vs mod_perl?

Ok I just switched back to mod_perl, which is really a loss of
performance
and I will have a look if the error vanished.

Over time (week or so) performance on a mod_perl RT installation
becomes dog slow. A restart of Apache usually clears this up for some
time.

You seem to imply that FastCGI is much faster. Is that really the case?

Yes and no, but mostly yes.

In the general case fastcgi is “faster” because it doesn’t chew up system
resources as badly as mod_perl. I do believe it is possible to setup a
mod_perl environment that is as fast but I think you do need 2 webservers
to do it.
