That's entirely under your control. You can start as few or as many as you like, and vary the settings by site if you choose to. You would want about 20 times as many front-end server processes as backend ones to start with. > A new solution I have been working on is to have a single Apache server with > chrooting suexec and speedycgi. SpeedyCGI's only advantage over FastCGI was that it could be installed and used by a non-privileged user on a shared host without any direct support from the hosting provider. At this point, it's been a dormant project for ages. I think you'd better try FastCGI instead. However, I don't really see any advantage to FastCGI over the mod_perl setup you suggested. - Perrin
