Thanks, John.  3 followup questions:
-- what is it skipping when you don't run pcgi/pcgi_publisher.py when you 
do this?
-- can mod_pcgi be used for a ZPublisher-only application (not full-up zope)?
-- If so, where can I find info/download on mod_pcgi?

Also would still like to hear other opinions on PCGI vs. FastCGI vs. proxypath.
