The truth is that mod_fcgid spwans a sufficient number instances of the CGI program to handle concurrent requests.
BUT those instances do NOT get killed / respawned each time. The advantage of mod_fcgid over mod_cgi is that the process / instance lives on. Therefore it is much faster than the old cgi.
I use mod_fcgid with PHP mostly. With FcgidProcessLifeTime 0 I don't let the fcgid process die until I have to restart apache. That enables the use of PHPs' opcache. There is almost no difference between mod_php and mod_fcgid + PHP. Yes you could measure a little difference, but in real world I never thad an issue with that.
Also the last known commit to mod_fastcgi was 5 years ago (AFAIK) [1]. www fastcgi com is no longer in use.
