Accept() loop in php-fcgi?

Hi,

Recently I moved some of my php scripts from running on mod_php to
(mod_fastcgi + php-fcgi) under Apache; hoping to see some gains on
performance, however, I observed that having (mod_fastcgi + php-fcgi)
brings almost no benefit.  On the other hand, the equivalent perl
script runs 10x faster on (mod_fastcgi + perl).

On perl, I convert a script like:

	#!/usr/bin/perl

	use XXX; # heavy initialization stuff

	print(“Content-type: text/html\n\n”); # start of response
	print(“Serving request...”);

to fastcgi script like:

	#!/usr/bin/perl

	use FCGI;
	use XXX; # heavy initialization stuff

	while(FCGI::accept() >= 0) {
		print(“Content-type: text/html\n\n”); # start of response
		print(“Serving request...”);
	}

I am wondering if there is a notion of FCGI::accept() loop in php
semantics?  It seems like php-fcgi implements the accept() outside of
the php scripts, which makes me unable to seperate the heavy
initialization part from the response part.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jonathan
