  • Can optionally start the SCGI application server automatically
  • Ability to control parameters like number of threads, outstanding IOCP requests etc. for tuning to your particular environment.
  • Implemented as an ISAPI C extension and uses I/O completion ports for minimal memory and CPU usage
  • Supports non-parsed headers
  • No other dependencies.
  • Open source with a liberal BSD license that allows free use even in commercial environments.

Benefits
