Folks, This is beautiful but deploying FastCGI is not that trivial. Recovery must play a big part on the backend since the FastCGI stays resident (it should) in memory.
This could be replicated in Rev, pure RevTalk right now. It would not be 100% safe since we have a blocking engine but we could always use a monitor process to detect lock up and kill it. I think it was 2006 or something, that I was talking with Mark Wieder about how one should go to implement that exact solution. It can be done, heck, I am not the best programmer out there and I've implemented FastCGI on Revolution 2.x and it actually worked. Now, you guys got me hooked, I will write a big followup now not to hijack this thread.
