Which is roughly akin to FastCGI, as you point out. And I'm glad the i5
does it better. But we're still left with the problem that there needs
to be a job for each active request, as opposed to a multi-threaded app
server (like WAS) where each request is handled on a different thread in
a common process. For smaller sites where the number of simultaneous
requests are low the one request per job model is fine, but as requests
ramp up (and ajax makes them ramp up fast) the model begins to show its
weaknesses.
