No, because I liked those links and they probably redirected my attention, preventing me from posting in the same way you did, without enough reflection.
Why assume a lack of reflection?
It is nonsense in the same way that if I asked you why are those 12 male ducks attacking that hen, and you said 'it is functioning as designed?' You could just as a-holey say, "It is not broke?"
Sorry that analogy just doesn't fly.
It is nonsense because it does not make sense that any programmer would design their program to go slow.
You've never heard of programs designed to be nice? That is actually goal of things like web spiders.
Was FCGI invented to make the first page slow? Is that a rational goal? It seems just as easy to say, "FastCGI starts up on the first page load"
In a way here, the OP is the designer and so it is not functioning as designed and your answer is wrong.
Is my reply an answer? And the OP is the author of FastCGI?
If the design is to start up equally fast across every page load, then fcgi won't work and this is what the op should get out of your response (and did get, from every response except yours)
I think you should take another read of the responses
If as you claim fcgi won't work, then nothing will work, as all programs have to be loaded, and that takes a fixed amount of time.
Lightning maybe? Wind? Does anything not function as designed? The OPS design was to know why his program started up slowly and the function of his post was to find out why.
And then what happened?
Neither the design nor the function of replies here is give the OP an answer
Is startup on first request not how fastcgi is supposed to work?: It is
Did you check: No
Maybe you should check now?
How can you be sure otherwise?
