... which is basically the same problem you'd run into were you to run the application as a daemon, right?A normal CGI does a fork and exec() to start the CGI application.FastCGI runs in a loop (think BLooper), waiting for requests. There is a thin wrapper that your CGI needs, but it is pretty trivial to change one into the other.The downside of fastcgi is that if you have a memory or handle leak (db, ldap, whatever), code that runs in a CGI will break under load.
