| # Introduction |
| |
| `mod_fcgid` is a high performance alternative to mod_cgi or mod_cgid, which |
| starts a sufficient number instances of the CGI program to handle |
| concurrent requests, and these programs remain running to handle further |
| incoming requests. It is favored by the PHP developers, for example, as a |
| preferred alternative to running mod_php in-process, delivering very |
| similar performance. |
