Cheers. Yes indeed it makes a difference.

so from 1872 to 118ms using 3 FCGI processes.

I will document all of these for future. SDR Reporting is
and will be only CGI Perl so I will deploy fcgiwraps as part
of the final solution. As for improving these numbers I will
open a CR in bugzilla to keep track of all of these.
