No, the process manager will only setup another process if the current 
set of processes is not keeping up.

There is a session affinity patch here:
http://www.tfarmbruster.com/fcgi_sa.htm

I have never used it.  The term 'affinity' implies the process manager 
will maintain a preference for a given process handling a given user's 
requests.  I don't think it enforces a 1 to 1 relationship between users 
and processes.  I.E. one process cannot assume it will only get requests 
for one user and it cannot assume it will get all requests for that 
user.  This means you will still need some mechanism of IPC, be it a 
database, shared memory, local files, or some sort of back channel.

There's no point in acting all surprised about it. All the planning
charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local
planning department on Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years,
so you've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it's
far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
