yes, I have 2 boxes set up with RT running as SpeedyCGI. One
of them has intermittent problems, but it is probably not a
SpeedyCGI issue since that box has other problems as well.

I can't comment about SpeedyCGI vs mod_perl, since neither box
runs Apache. However, as for FastCGI vs SpeedyCGI, SpeedyCGI is
easier on the administrator for a couple of reasons:

1. You can tune SpeedyCGI for max number of scripts, max times
each script can run, etc; you can't do this with FastCGI.

2. When the web server exits/dies/crashes, FastCGI processes
stay in memory, but won't be reused by the web server when it
is restarted. I.e., if your web server dies a few times, you
can have dozens of "zombie" FastCGI processes filling up your
memory.
