This is the first I've heard of mod_cgid, so no we're not using it. Apparently it IS in our mods-available folder and ready to use though. I'm using Prefork mode which is the default for Ubuntu's stable Apache package. Is that a threaded MPM that should make use of mod_cgid? Also, do you think it could be beneficial for us to build our own Apache from source rather than relying on what Ubuntu's placed in it's stable package library? I notice that it's often several minor versions behind, not sure if that could be an issue here though since this issue has been going on for a long time now. =/
