FastCGI experiences

[loloyd]

I would like to share my experiences with FastCGI. I have this directory with the following specs:

Total Files Listed:
30991 File(s) 13,622,472,462 bytes
8318 Dir(s)

I use webfilebrowser to remotely search for items in it. In the past, I only used CGI and no matter how tweaked my php.ini's Resource Limits section (max_execution_time, max_input_time, memory_limit) was, no visible result came out.

I had reservations in using FastCGI before because of a few horror stories and some weird process behavior. Reading and learning more about FastCGI, especially one thread here in this forum where it said that the author experienced about 60% faster performance, made me reconsider my stand.

I turned on FastCGI and voila, just like magic, results now DO COME OUT in my searching from the said directory. Thanks, Aprelium. Thanks, FastCGI. Thanks, for the anonymous poster who started that thread which I cannot recall and am unable to find.

Edit: I only use PHP 5.0.3! :-D

loloyd,

You're welcome. FastCGI was worth the time we spent coding and making it compatible with many "specification breaking" interpreters. :-)

But there is still room for many improvements when it comes to its speed and to its possible uses. That's partly what we'll be working on for the coming releases.
