But doesn't the CGI specification define the environment variables and such the get your data (such as a GET query string ) into your script even if it is in-process?

CGI model vs. in-process model

The query string is defined by the URI specification, not CGI. Also, when two separate ideas use some of the same standards, it doesn't mean the ideas are equivalent. Otherwise, I'm sure you could logically argue that Java and PHP are the same thing.
PHP can run as a CGI or as an Apache module (and in a few other environments). There is a substantial performance difference between the two.
