Hi,
I'm also curious on this for I'm now running a HTTP server
and thinking to change it to an SCGI server (using web-unity).
Is the performance technically the same in these cases?
Also, do mod_scgi and mod_proxy handle long-lived connections
(a.k.a. COMET connections) very well?

Thanks for your comments.
