Classic cgi implementations were still slow enough (especially

just out of inertia.
OK so what's the way to go now? One process per request? Seems
heavy to me seeing as most requests last very little.

One process/thread per CPU core + async I/O.
FastCGI as simple alternative (it is similar to CGI but does not
respawn process after processing request).
