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 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?
