That was the other option I was considering - either fastcgi, or one of the
other forms of persistent CGI which exist now. I haven't looked at these
enough to judge their various merits, but at least one of them must be able to
do the job. I realise the current code wasn't written with persistence in mind
(there is no reason wht it should have been), so the task may not be totally
trival. It seems like there should be some really significant performance
benefits from getting rid of those exec's, though.
Maybe my next step should be to study the relative merits of the various
persistent CGI mechanisms.
