webpy and fastcgi

to web.py

Hello,

I am running three different webpy scripts via apache's fastcgi. I followed the
instructions and it works great!

But I wonder why only three instances of python are running on my server, one
for each script. I thought, fastcgi would run multiple instaces of the scripts?

Is there something in webpy that prevents more instances from being run?

Do I need to configure fastcgi differently?

My server is totally bored, with a very low load, and still visitors have to
wait for answers from the three scripts. My server could easil run each script
ten times.

Thanks for any hints.

Best greetings,
Dragan

Okay, sorry, still another question.
Each code.py, when run as fastcgi, seems to start 5 threads.
I wonder where this number comes from, in the source of flup I have noticed that
5 threads is the default number.
Is it meaningful to increase this number?
If so, how to do it from my scripts?
Does flup handle the tearing down of threads by itself, or does it get signals
from the fastcgi mod?
Thanks for any answers,
greetings,
Dragan

And, before everybody puts me in their filter list ...
I should have went with the Apache defaults. They work fantastically.
So, there is no problem with fastcgi on Apache2.
