Hi everyone

I'm working with Boa webserver to display information on web browsers. I'm
using CGI developed in C language and I'm experiencing a strange
situation.
My CGI's execute in few miliseconds, some around 20 ms and other (with
more information or tasks associated) take longer, about 400 ms. So far so
good. The problem is that the CGI returns the information by a printf()
and should end it execution. But, it stays an active process to upon 4
seconds or more.
Once that my webserver receives several requests for updates for small
periods of time and it only answers one request each time, this situation
delays the  capacity for quick uptades.
Sometimes i get delays of above 4 seconds, witch is a lot of time. Is
there some known problem with Boa terminating the CGI process or it must
be something else?
My version of Boa is 0.93. My uClinux distribution is for the M5272
Coldfire board.

My best regards, Jorge Lopes
