Why Nginx Doesn't Implement FastCGI Multiplexing?

[momyc]

You clearly do not understand what the biggest FastCGI connection
multiplexing advantage is. It makes it possible to use much less TCP
connections (read "less ports"). Each TCP connection requires separate port
and "local" TCP connection requires two ports. Add ports used by
browser-to-Web-server connections and you'll see the whole picture. Even if
Unix-sockets are used between Web-server and FastCGI-server there is an
advantage in using connection multiplexing - less used file descriptors.

FastCGI connection multiplexing could be great tool for beating C10K
problem. And long-polling HTTP-requests would benefit from connection
multiplexing even more.

Of course, if you're running 1000 hits/day Web-site it is not someting you'd
worry about.
