Comment on Serving 200M requests per day with a CGI-bin

Comments

Why would it be limited to ~ 100 connections on a 1-4 GB RAM server? Out of curiosity if we fork() httpd and exec() the cgi handler, it doesn't take the same RAM as the parent process and it could just take a few KB or MB, is that right? So I guess 1000+ concurrent connections even on a small server is possible.
