One step up would be to use FastCGI instead of CGI, which would leave your request handler running as a separate process but which would perform much better as there would be no need to create a new process for every request it handles. That might not require too many changes to your code, depending on how it is structured. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
