Re: Using FastCGI

[sundialsvc4]

I agree.   If you are faced with a quantifiable problem, then that problem must have a quantifiable solution, and you should strictly limit yourself to that solution ... nothing more.   “Right now, you are barking up the wrong tree.”

If the fundamental statement of your problem is that “you have a slow search engine,” then it probably does not matter in the slightest how that “too-slow search engine” is presently being invoked.   Therefore, changes to “how it is being invoked (and nothing more...)” probably won’t help the problem in the slightest.

What you need to focus your (full...) attentions on is this:   “why is my search-engine slow?”

Sure... when you come to that... “Plack is great.”   But, “(Plack | CGI | FastCGI | whatever) is merely a subroutine-call.”   If your fundamental algorithm can’t produce the expected results in a reasonable amount of time, then it really does not matter how it gets called.

Sorry, I was a little lost as to what these speed improvements did, guess I was being a too optimistic that it would fix the problem. I will get a more efficient algorithm and then probably come back for further help. Thanks a lot.
