I don't have exakt numbers. We started with pcgi and had heavy problems 
under load. They disapeared with the fastCGI module coming wird zope 2.6
i gues. I ve tried mod_proxy back than but had many problems. I can not 
test on the Production system as there are 40000 users on the system and
we have enougth Problems with Readconflictes and Session problems.

Yes but if its deprecated it can disapear from any new version. And thats 
an situation i'm not very comfortable with.

I know. I will read me in the FCGIServer and see if I can understand how 
its work. But my time is Limited. (Running and developing a portal for i
40000 user with 3 Fulltime workers isn't that easy).
