With some hackery you might be able to do it even with plain CGI. I'm thinking doing something like user-land exec[1] and pausing the execution of child just before `main` (or whatever entrypoint). You still need to do one fork per request, but still you could improve average case latency by having children pre-forked. No, it absolutely would not be worthwhile to go through such hoops, but fun thought experiment. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37025843 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37025843
