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=""><br class=""></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><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thoughts?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Tim</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
