RE: [WEB400] FRCA-Fast Response Cache Accelerator any benefit whilerunning CGI apps?

I don't know anything about FRCA, but traditionally serving HTML pages out
of the IFS is what people do; serving them out of a source file member is
perfectly acceptable and is actually faster than IFS-based HTML pages. If
you convert your IFS to *TYPE2 then the performance gap between source
members and IFS is narrowed.

Since when is this faster? It's been a long time since I did any benchmarking 
(it would have been on a 50S running V4R1 or V4R2) but the root file system was 
several times faster and put a lot less load on the box than serving out of a 
member. I know that (at least at one time) the documentation said that the root 
file system (which I guess is what you mean by IFS -- the IFS actually 
encompasses all of the file systems: libraries, root, QNTC, etc..) was the 
fastest place for static stuff (HTML, graphics, etc..) since OS/400 can stream 
the bytes out and doesn't have any extra database overhead.
