Ok, thanks. Sorry for the questions, just trying to be clear.

Looks like since I'm running the web server on the same machine as
the application that running in Static mode is best because it
handles starting the application automatically, and exec'ing more
applications as needed.

External Server, on the other hand, would allow me to run the
application under a different UID than the web server.  Although
there's FatCGIWrapper.

There's no sharing of data in my application across processes, so
that's not a consideration.  Although perhaps there's some benefit
form copy-on-write when it's the application forking itself.  Maybe.

Thanks much for the feedback.
