RE: Web server performance

Most likely not.  I have a set of wrappers that manipulate the libl  and I
haven't noticed a hit from them.

I do notice that the first call to a CGI program is slower than subsequent
calls that use the same job in the instance.  This tells me its AG creation
that is part of the speed problem.

Then again, 5 seconds isn't really anything to sneeze at.  It's not bad at
all.  You also have to take into play network load, connection speed, etc.
Also, programming techniques as well.  Setting on LR won't be a big deal (in
the main program) since it only happens once and after all the HTML is
written to the screen.  But, if you're calling a program multiple times that
sets on LR, making the program a service program would help.  I have two
modules... one that writes the HTML stored in a member and another that
writes HTML stored in a stream file.
