While I'm here, I do have another question for anyone out there with Revolution cgi experience, and this concerns the speed with which a Revolution cgi returns a result the first time it is called by a client. My first search of Fiction Search takes a long time, say, thirty seconds, to return a page of hits. Subsequent searches are completed in the blink of an eye. Is this a client-side or server-side thing? In other words, will all visitors to my projects experience a potentially confusing slow first response, or is it just a matter of me somehow priming or loading the Revolution engine into memory on my server in advance, so that it's ready for visitors?
I'm not sure what to tell you, except that I've never seen that kind of lag, even the first time I run the cgi. There must be something else going on. On my Mac, I can't tell the difference between the first time I run it and subsequent times.
Each time the cgi runs a new instance of Revolution is launched, so you can't really "preload" it. The OS will cache the engine usually by itself, so maybe your machine is doing something that mine isn't?
