Well, I can't tell much about the layers below moin (esp. not for software I do not use myself), but in principle, fastcgi should be of almost same performance as mod-wsgi. A little more software (likely flup) in between moin and web server, but still fast. Plain CGI (not fastcgi) means loading and initializing all the code for each request and terminating after that one request is processed. FastCGI as well as mod-wsgi means long-running processes which are only rarely terminated and restarted and thus is much faster and less overhead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
