I agree that performance gain is almost negligible, but adding FCGI 
functionality to webmail stub could make Sqwebmail as a whole closer to 
modern web practices. IIRC there were some FCGI traces in very old versions 
of Sqwebmail which had been removed later. 

If making webmail stub FCGI-capable is too difficult, I see another 
possibility - rewriting it in PHP or adding PHP stub to the existing 
package. Taking into account that now it's hard to find site without PHP 
(in the form of apache module or standalone FCGI server) maybe it's not so 
bad idea?
