FastCGI

  It allows a persistent connection to the program
  the client wants to run

  When the server starts, a FastCGI manager process
  is created.

  When a request for a program, say myscript.cgi, is
  received, the manager creates a process to run
  this program.

  But when myscript.cgi completes, the process is not
  killed. It sits idle, until the next request for
  myscript.cgi arrives.
