[users@httpd] scripts run very slow in the Apache server

[Senthil Nathan]

hi all,
i have some cgi scripts running on the Apache server.
i am invoking it from the browser and see that it takes lot of time to connect to the server and run the cgi script on it.
actually my cgi script takes 4sec to run, which i checked out using the timestamp.

but when accessing from the browser, it takes more time to run.
how can this be improved???

any idea would be helpful.

thanks
senthil
