Well, there is "0-RTT" TLS session resumption with early data. That 
reduces the overheads substantially (though it still requires a fresh 
TCP connection for each request). As far as I know no server supports 
0-RTT currently, and I think only a few clients do. But it would fit 
well with heavy CGI use.
