Ok, I think it's bad architecture. I already told Marc about that.
It's very easy to separate processing binary static files like images from
dynamic content. Just setup thttpd. Next step to setup frontend web server
which should be very light with cacheing capability - we use mod_accel module
for apache. It's frontentd which communicate with browser (probably slow link).
Backend, with PHP, mod_auth_pgsql should be use for page generation, it
should communicate only with frontend. The main idea is that you need much
less backends (plus postgres connection for each backend), so much lesser
resources will be used. What's the problem to setup this ?
