RE: CGIDEV2 performance versus Net.Data

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just for clarification it is actually around 50 programs (there are a bunch
in the sign-on secured portion of the site that you never see...)

We shut down and restart the HTTP server every night for multiple reasons.
First of all, it resets the number of active Server Instance jobs.  Second,
it in effect deletes all the CGI activation groups so that they get
re-initialized at the first call of the day.  Finally, during the 120
seconds that it is down we do statistical compilation and collection.
