Do Rev CGI Suffer Performance HIts?

[jbv]

Dan,

Again you should check with Pierre Sahores who has developped
a different method based on stacks running & "listening" non stop
for requests, and therefore don't need to load for each instance / call
and seem to be able to process several hundreds (IIRC) of requests
per second...
