Hi Erich,

  I wrote a small test program in C that just printed a single <html>test</html>
line and it was very slow when called as a cgi via apache.  Much slower than
PHP.  Is there something that needs to be done in order for Apache to run C
without having to shell out to the OS (?) or something.
