Because with FastCGI you only have a single engine running, and when that's mulling over 5 million records in a MySQL database, no other requests can be handled. The main advantage of FastCGI is that a single engine keeps running; thus saving time because the engine doesn't need to be relaunched, database connection only needs to be opened once, etc. But it's still a single-threaded engine... While you can simulate a lot by using 'send in time' constructs, this becomes awkward to to script and a flood of requests will bring it to its knees. Jan Schenkel.
