FastCGI Enabled

Further the previous post I did end up porting my blog driver to my fastcgi implementation.

Benchmarking using `ab' from home it doesn't really make any difference reading the front page of the blog - if anything it's actually marginally slower.

Running the benchmark locally though things are quite different.

Previous standard cgi:

Concurrency Level:      1
Time taken for tests:   13.651 seconds
Complete requests:      1000
Failed requests:        0
Total transferred:      37100000 bytes
HTML transferred:       36946000 bytes
Requests per second:    73.25 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       13.651 [ms] (mean)
Time per request:       13.651 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate:          2654.05 [Kbytes/sec] received

Using fcgi:

Concurrency Level:      1
Time taken for tests:   0.706 seconds
Complete requests:      1000
Failed requests:        0
Total transferred:      37062000 bytes
HTML transferred:       36908000 bytes
Requests per second:    1416.39 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       0.706 [ms] (mean)
Time per request:       0.706 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate:          51264.00 [Kbytes/sec] received
  

So yeah, only 20x faster. If I up the concurrency level of the benchmark it gets better but it's hard to tell much from it since everything is running on the same machine.

Regardless, I made it live.
