CGI Scripts that are Very Secure, Reliable & Free! 

FastCGI

FastCGI is great! No really, it is... The good old common gateway interface (CGI) is good, it allows all kinds of scripting languages such as Perl, PHP, Ruby, Python, Lua, etc, to be used to develop dynamic web content. Sounds good. So why is FastCGI great? The problem with CGI is that a new process is spawned each time the script is called. This isn't a problem for most applications, but it becomes a problem when your dynamic content starts receiving a lot of traffic. In steps FastCGI, it keeps your processes alive and re-uses them, so the time taken to create and destroy new processes is completely removed. Also, you can have all your programs required modules loaded in the initial startup and not each time it's called, so each call to the script is super fast!
