CGI-Link Advantages
- Allows CGI-BIN to remain running
- Avoids costly application or database startup/termination
- Can implement 'light' persistance easily by maintaining state
in memory
- Can service multiple requests with same program by using threads
(or in Smalltalk, using Processes).
- IPC between CGI-Link client and server allows HTTPD server and
CGI programs to reside on different hosts
