I'm not sure either, other than the fact that it makes supporting 
FastCGI, CGI, and mod_perl more centralized and easier to manage.  I 
think shifting MT::App over to CGI::Application falls in the category of 
  changes that help migrate MTOS from using homebrew solutions to using 
established libraries.  It'd probably help MTOS cutdown on memory leaks.

As far as CA-Dispatch, it has a really nice ability to dynamically load 
app modules.  No more coding of .cgi or .fcgi scripts to execute an app, 
having the .pm file is all you need.  It can also clean up our urls, 
e.g.: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mt/cms/edit/entry/2/1054/.

I'm sure Tim can chime in on other suggestions since he actually has 
experience with CGI::Application.
