But there’s a resource-usage cost associated with keeping processes in 
existence, isn’t there. As opposed to letting the server process control 
for itself how it will divide up multiple concurrent connections among a 
set of service processes/threads.

(I know, CGI doesn’t give you that control anyway. This is why Web 
developers don’t like to use CGI nowadays.)
