As you've discovered, on Win32 there's a big improvement in
using mod_perl 2, but as well, Apache2 itself has some
significant gains over Apache1 on Win32. A release candidate
of mod_perl 2 was just released, so it's very close to
coming out of the development stage - on Win32, it passes a
very extensive test suite. http://perl.apache.org/ discusses
porting things to mp2, and for Win32 in particular, how to
get ppm packages (note that on Win32 you must be running
perl-5.8.x [an ActivePerl 8xx build] to use mp2).

Of course, one should be careful in making a major upgrade
like this - for mod_perl 2, the ppm package will install
things under an Apache2/ subdirectory in your Perl tree, so
that in principle you can have mod_perl 1 and 2 coexisting.
Using Template-Toolkit with mp2 is pretty straightforward -
if you need Apache::Request and/or Apache::Cookie, you can
get them in the libapreq2 ppm package, and if you need
Apache::Template, a mp2-compatible version is available from
 http://www.modperlcookbook.org/~geoff/modules/experimental/
