Hi folks
Running Apache 2.4.41 on Win Server 2019 , i7 processor with 8Gb ram (3.8ghz)....
Installed mod_fcgid on server above with PHP 7.3.12. No errors that I see in Apache.log .. but Wow performance with mod_fcgid is AWFUL compared to native API in Apache . I ran a ab benchmark twice, first with mod_fcgid enabled , then off. Here are the results , can someone help me understand why it is SOO much slower with mod_fcgid installed ??? I thought mod_fcgid was supposed to make things 5-20 times faster !!
First test with 100k req, 500 concurrency took 64 secs, second same test on same box , 2 seconds.!!!!

| Tests I was running were on same server as apache was installed, however, running same tests from remote server with Apache 2.4.29 installed on it, and running ab on that server, FCGID is 30% faster accessing primary server via its internal IP address, than with it (FCGID) turned off ..... is this a network address resolution issue ? locally run ab with fast CGI off the test was unbelievably fast for the 90k page ! |

That is sort of correct. That number is f(ast)cgi(d) compared to plain cgi. |
