If you are seeing that long of a latency then the problem is not CGI nor FastCGI. Thirty second latencies indicate something broken on your site only. You will have to debug your site. Typically a 30 second latency will be from a DNS timeout of some sort. Sometimes installing a caching nameserver will cover up the problem because it will cache the failure. The first bad lookup is slow but then subsequent bad lookups is faster. But it is better to debug the failure first. And then of course install a caching dns server anyway because that is always a good thing to have on an active web site. But I assure you that both simple CGI and FastCGI are much faster than what you describe. Sub second latencies are normal. To debug this you should set up a simple do-nothing web page that uses FastCGI and then see what it does. A simple do-nothing web site should be virtually instantaneous. If that is still showing thirty second delays then you would know for sure that you have something in your configuration that causing the delay. If not then you know the delay is in your program code. > but still the lenny server is performing really fine than > squeeze. There isn't anything effectively different between Lenny and Squeeze. If you are seeing a difference then use that to debug what is going on. If you are seeing a difference then that is a difference between the two configurations and not between the versions. > Can libapache2-mod-speedycgi and speedy-cgi-perl help to get speed ? No. Something is simply broken. Find it and fix it. Bob
