Sounds like a job for AJAX, but before throwing out the baby with the bath water I'd seriously consider turning up logging with timestamps on your existing CGI and
That's a good idea, Scott, I've just been too lazy and debugging CGI is such a pain.
The clients are mostly casual browsers, but every visitor triggers the CGI so that's a lot of work for the db. Regarding the db it's currently an SQLite instance but I'm running about 10+ virtual sites off the same db and needing writes so that alone may be part of the problem.
Also, I do have a good Pg db running I've intended to use but just haven't gotten a "round tuit" yet.
But, could a web socket setup help do you think?
Best,
