Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I installed fcgiwrap to run Python scripts on nginx.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

CGI scripts can be run, but sequentially, one-by-one, very slow

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

CGI scripts can be run in parallel.

   * What is the solution?

The default setup in /lib/systemd/system/fcgiwrap.service should use option "-c
<number>" (Number of processes to prefork), for example "-c 5"

Thanks!

You can adjust -c value in /etc/default/fcgiwrap EnvironmentFile:

root@host:/# cat /etc/default/fcgiwrap
DAEMON_OPTS=-f -c69

I hope this helps.
