4.4-Beta1 Questions

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Eduardo,

FastCGI is a protocol for keeping cgi-bin style web applications running
as a daemon to take advantage of preserving memory caches, and amortizing
other high startup costs (like heavy database connections) over many
requests.

See:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?FastCGI

Best regards,
Bart
