[rt-users] newbie question

[Brian Place]

Hi everyone - I just started using RT this week and am in awe of it... 
we have a small consulting shop and I think it's going to completely 
change how we do business.

In any case, I have a really dumb question that probably gets asked all 
of the time... but I didn't see anything in the FAQ about it:  is 
FastCGI or mod_perl faster?  This is a new SuSE Standard Server v8 w/ 
Apache 1.3.26.  I am not an expert in CGI or Perl, but it was my 
understanding that mod_perl was some sort of complete Perl interpreter 
plugged directly into Apache, and FastCGI would have to spawn an 
external Perl process.. so mod_perl would be faster.

The system is pretty comprehensive, but it is SLOW even on a dual-proc 
PII-450MHz motherboard (Intel) w/ 1GB of RAM - and I suspect that's 
just the way it is... so I'll probably go get something faster soon.  
(Really, it takes around 6 seconds to display  "show all new and open 
tickets" when there are only 20 or so tickets in the list)

I'm just a user... Please be kind.  Thanks! ;)

(also - is there a way to get the digest version of this list to just 
send me one message per day?  anyone?)
