Interesting. As for the large response time, you'd generally run a bunch
of fcgiwraps (e.g. by using the -c option) to improve responsiveness.
The memory cost should be negligible compared to a single instance.
Right now all the requests are processed sequentially, so if your CGI
script slept for 5 seconds, you'd get 0.2 req/sec tops plus an
absolutely abysmal response time.
Of course, this also applies to the Perl wrapper. You can implement a
simplistic prefork there by replacing:
-----------------------------
my $pid = fork();
if( $pid == 0 ) {
&main;
exit 0;
}
-----------------------------
with:
-----------------------------
for (1 .. HOWEVER_MANY_CHILDREN_YOU_WANT) {
my $pid = fork();
if( $pid == 0 ) {
&main;
exit 0;
}
}
-----------------------------
Also, if your real CGI scripts you are going to run are all Perl-based,
you may get better results by converting them to talk FastCGI directly
to save on the overhead of launching Perl and loading its modules once
per request. However, this includes some gotchas and is generally
getting way off topic :)
