Yes, I am a FastCGI fanboy.
I just spent the whole day setting up FastCGi using www/mod_fastcgi and
www/fcgi. I ended up with a server process, written C, that runs
outside the apache chroot as a FastCGIExternalServer and Apache
communicating with this through mod_fastcgi using an AF_UNIX socket.
The fastcgi server connects to a PostgreSQL database to do stuff, and
yes, this setup is fucking fast. And of course it does not have the
security problems PHP has, the slowness of CGI nor the overhead of Zope...
