Hi,
I'm designing an application that will allow users to interrogate a
Mysql database, using some form of regex. The database will be fairly
big, and I'm wondering whether using pre-compiled C++ cgi or php will
be faster?

Pre-compiled C++ will be a lot faster, especially if there is post-processing involved and pre-compiled PHP, and much much faster than un-compiled PHP. But in general it will be much quicker to code in PHP.
