Post data - Apache - FastCGI

Hello!

After not-finding the answer to my question in Google, I'm refering you with 
it.

So, I have Apache web server with mod_fastcgi module and underlying program. 
Now, that program is intended to be working with both GET and POST data. 
However, due to the specifics of it, only 1 process is allowed.

Now, I am wondering about following:

If we are uploading large amount of data using POST method, what is actually 
happening?
Is apache buffering the data before sending it to the fastcgi process? If 
that's so, the process get's "locked" while information from the client is 
received - if the sender has bad internet connection, uploading 1mb would 
take a long time - so, if fastcgi is waiting while data are coming and if 
maxprocesses = 1, we have a problem..

So, if this is the way the things happen, is there some kind of workaround? 
Perhaps, buffer size of apache can be increased or something like that?

Thanks a lot.
