Can you tell us if you're using a CGI library or just the raw/native OS/400
Web/CGI APIs, such as QtmhGetEnv, QtmhRdStin, QtmhWrStout

If you're using a library, it may be the library loading. Some of the add-on
libraries for CGI programming initialize/allocate storage when they are
started. This can take a little while. Others use User Spaces in lieu of
ALLOC/ReALLOC and tend to start up a bit quicker.  But regardless, 60
seconds a long time. 
One of the rules of thumb with CGI programs is to do what you need to do,
and return quickly. Long running processes aren't going to run any quicker
in CGI than in regular old interactive/batch RPG.

Subject: [WEB400] Slow CGI Performance

I've been doing a little web development on the AS/400 but the first cgi
program that loads is always 30 - 60 secs.  After you get the first page
loaded performance seems pretty good.  What would cause this?  Any other
performance tips would be appreciated as well.
