Fast CGI

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.
