unnecessary processes spawn during large POST's

Hi All,

In a Django / python app for uploading files I am experiencing the  
problem of unnecessary processes being spawn every 3 seconds during  
these large POST's. I believe I am experiencing the same problem as I  
found this old thread which
http://www.fastcgi.com/archives/fastcgi-developers/2004-January/ 
003206.html
The proposed solution, writing the Content-type and flushing this  
before the POST is completely received does not work for me.

Has there been any other solutions invented in the meantime?

And could one explain exactly why these processes get launched every  
three seconds? And what they are supposed to do? Why is it not  
sufficient to start only *one* extra process when it thinks another  
process hangs?

Also I suspect that if I use the singleThreshold 1 setting, only one  
user per time can request a page. So if the first user is uploading a  
large file, a second user cannot see the homepage (gets a 500 error  
instead). Am I correct in this assumption?


best regards
dirk
