True. I'd only use it if mod_webkit wasn't available. Right now I
imagine that fastcgi is slower, because you are making a socket
connection from the web server to the fastcgi adapter, and then
another connection from there to the AppServer.
I don't really know, though, since I only was able to briefly get
fastcgi to work before I broke it again. It was all very
frustrating.
Basically it seems like fastcgi is doing the exact same sort of thing
that the current adapter/appserver architecture does. Only fastcgi is
more general, and not optimized with any particular language in mind.

I'm kind of curious -- fastcgi starts up its own servers in some
fashion. Whatever it does, it must be doing it robustly, since it's
relatively widely deployed. Maybe it has a good technique that can be
used for Webware, even if only in the abstract.
