I'm not sure I understand the question. You can start FCGIs any way you want. The spawner is just a shortcut for starting many FCGIs at once and the spinner is a insurance against fallen FCGIs. How does either have any effect on RAM or start-up time? -- David Heinemeier Hansson http://www.loudthinking.com -- Broadcasting Brain http://www.basecamphq.com -- Online project management http://www.backpackit.com -- Personal information manager http://www.rubyonrails.com -- Web-application framework _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
