Yes, both.  Just to confirm, the CPU time for the Relational-Web message
server is reflected in the HTTP Server's BCI job.  The CPU time for the
application server is reflected in a separate job.  There's also a 3rd Job I
call the "switch" used to route and load-balance requests.  I add that time
too.

For Easy400 and Net.Data I count CPU time for both HTTP Server BCI and BCH
Jobs.

I don't have a good way to measure it.  Over my 128 kb router it's hard to
tell ;(

Your other comments Mel, have convinced me that named activation and CGI go
hand and hand, for high use scenarios.  But Joel Cochran apparently shuts
down restarts the HTTP server daily to reclaim CGI resources.  I think his
application consists of about a dozen CGI programs.  What about sites that
deploy hundreds?  Shut down and restart every couple hours?
