This is due to compilator loading and compilation, and the same PERL program compiled uder mod_cgi allocate about 6MB of memory for 1 (ONE) apache process. My server has only 160MB and mod_cgi was completely misunderstanding. The same under mod_fastcgi. Maybe it is fast (i cannot test it because of big memory allocation of module), but i think memory organization under mod_cgi is broken. PHP has light, fast and small_memory_allocating compiler with fast executable code, has more capabilities than CGI (ie. authentication/authorization through script, unmakeable with CGI). p.s. I cannot buy more memory, because it is very expensive (150$ for 64MB) p.p.s. Please, do not take this as a point to a flamewar. This is only my opinion taken from observation. -- pozdrawiam.. ## ## | Sylwester Zarębski - ISP Group | #### ## | e-mail: sylwek@isp.net.pl | ## ## ## | ICQ uin: #45780888 | ## #### ## | Administrator ISP.NET.PL |
