Performance: CGI/uniscript blocking

[Bertrand LUPART <bertrand.lupart AT linkeo.com>]

Hey,

Beat me if that's a stupid question, but why is CGI/Uniscript blocking?
Since it forks it shouldn't be a matter of external interpreter  
thread-safeness.

What is the performance penalty about that? The requests handled by  
other threads still run, and the requests handled by te thread  
handling the CGI are blocked?
