Slide decks are so unbelievably bad at conveying information.


But, looking through it, I think I agree. There's a reason why I 
stick with my cgi.d - using a simple process/thread model is so 
much easier and actually performs fine. fork() is very cheap on 
modern Linux and if you use it, the kernel takes care of 
basically all the hard stuff for you!
