Hey Alec,

FastCGI has some advantages:
 - more deployment options (e.g. dedicated process)
 - peace-of-mind of using a standard web server

... and disadvantages:
 - lower performance because most web servers are not asynchronous and
thus thread-hungry
 - no support for web sockets (ever possible)
 - not as easy to configure
 - not easy to restart a single application

Using wthttpd in combination with HAproxy is my preferred deployment
combination.

Regards,
koen
