WASD runs faster in generall and runs SOAP calls (using gSOAP)
using FastCGI faster then Apache according to the gSOAP for
OpenVMS maintainer. And gSOAP (just as WASD) "free". The next
gSOAP kit (not sure it has been released yet, but should be in
a few weeks) comes with FastCGI examples for WASD also (apart
from Apahce).
