[Koha-devel] Possible IRC tutorial nginx and FastCGI

[Fouts, Clay]

I'm very interested interested in learning more about this, also. How well
does it scale? My experience with FastCGI is that it can lend performance
improvements, but it's often at considerable cost in terms of memory. Does
the FCGI handle all the scripts or only key performance-sensitive ones, like
opac-search.pl?
