Patrick Kelley describes his setup for combining Apache and FastCGI,
thus eliminating forking on the server side, with PostgreSQL and its TCL 
extensions using a pool of open connections on the database side.

He reports a test involving 4500 hits in 2:28, about 30 hits per second.
About 50 requests didn't receive proper data, a problem he feels could
be solved by increasing the pool of FastCGI's.
