With the daemon, it's asynchronous, so you can have answers in 2 minuts. that's the main reason of the daemon.
How many Z39.50 servers do most people use? Is it impossible to write an asynchronous CGI? These are design questions, so please reply to -devel if you want.
if you setup your webserver timeout low (something like 10 seconds) the daemon becomes mandatory.
If you set your timeout that low, I think you are likely to have worse problems unless you have a fast machine. The CGI could just return whatever answers come back in <10 seconds. Is it reasonable to use the daemon by default just to give better support to odd setups? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.
