Fast CGI is a more efficient way of doing things than regular CGI
scripts. Fast CGI works by launching an external process which keeps
running once started, processing one request after another, instead of
having a new process started for each request.
Roxen's FastCGI support is handled through the
Fast CGI scripting support module.
As with CGI scripts, there are security hazards involved with
running Fast CGI scripts. They are most commonly caused by the low
quality of existing Fast CGI scripts.
