    <font face="Times New Roman">Yes, the differences are significant:
      FastCGI seems to give speed improvements from 20 to 100 %. I never
      guessed it would be that much: I thought the Operating System
      itself cached the MapServer CGI program between calls as part of
      its swapping policy, but FastCGI does this way better.<br>
