I'm not sure what you mean about making the CGI persistent.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=programming-writing-persistent-cgi-programs

So that the program stays running within the job?

Yes. The job is dedicated to a single user. Program remains active. Files
remain open.

That would mean extensive recoding
and how would it help with multiple simultaneous http requests?

Multiple simultaneous HTTP requests are handled by multiple CGI jobs.
Similar to telnet. One user, one session, one job.

I doubt the interface would require substantial re-coding. But I may not
understand your use-case.
