Re: IceBreak as an alternative to Apache?

Yes your assumption is correct (at least from my perspective).

"If so, the typical Apache solution to the overhead of CGI is to embed
the language environment in the Apache binary instead of invoking it
every time."

Where can I read more about this? It is not a technique I am familiar with.

Am I correct in assuming you are talking about CGI-programs here, and
not as such Apache (except it is the default choice of web server on the i)?

If so, the typical Apache solution to the overhead of CGI is to embed
the language environment in the Apache binary instead of invoking it
every time. At least that is what was done with Perl (and PHP too if I
recall correctly).

Does the factor 10 still hold when comparing with an Apache server with
embedded interpreters?
