Serving Images via FastCGI

Hello,

I have a PHP application which loads images via PHP script. Running this PHP
script via PHP FastCGI creates a problem. The application loads hundreds of
small images via this script on a single .php page This invokes hundreds of
FastCGI processes just to serve a single user.  When images are served via 
Apache, only 2 processes are used to serve all the images for a single HTTP
keep-alive session in a series manner instead of parallel in case of FastCGI. Is
there a way to implement same keep-alive mechanism in the case of a FastCGI
app serving images during single HTTP keep-alive session?

The available affinity patch is either IP or Cookie based, but I guess the above
would require a HTTP keep-alive session based session tracking, instead. Has
anyone run into this problem and found a solution?

Thank you for any input you may provide.

-Simon
