[Qgis-developer] QgisMapserver - need to restart Apache on every project file change ?

[Andreas Neumann]

 Yes - but it comes at a price:

 the CGI version does not profit from the caching mechanism and thus 
 will be a lot slower. Also, it has to load QGIS server and libraries for 
 each request. For medium complex to complex projects this will be way 
 too slow.
