Hey, everyone,
<div class="">Does anyone on here have insight into using FastCGI
to speed up Perl execution? I’ve been playing with it the last
week and I am amazed at the results, but FastCGI seems to be
mostly dormant. My CMS goes from taking around 600ms to fulfill
a request to as low as 180ms (all but as fast as a static page).
So far as I can tell, it has several advantages over mod_perl,
most importantly that it works with Suexec to keep scripts from
running with privileges beyond the current site’s own.</div>

<div class="">On the other hand, the FCGI module for Perl seems to
have broken UTF-8 support, which is a pretty nasty thing in
2021. </div>
