I updated to Movable Type 3.34 today, after Wednesday's release. One of the promises was integrated and instant FastCGI support. However, there's a small environmental change you have to make to get it that instant support running; unless you read the announcement carefully, you might miss it. Furthermore, that doc is only linked to from the release note, which itself does not come up (nor does anything but a changelog) if you do a documentation search for 3.34 at sixapart.com.
I'll probably make those changes within the next day or two; I'm curious to see if FastCGI makes any difference on this system at all.
[6:32 AM] Update: Tried moving the five core CGIs to .fcgi to make them run under FastCGI. mt.fcgi, however, seemed to blow a gasket in the middle of a site rebuild, so I had to backout the AdminScript change and rebuild the site again. I've left the other four; let's see how that goes through the day.

Comments (3)
Well, comments were broken for two days, since I typo'd the comments CGI filename (oops). Sorry about that. It's fixed now, though.

Did you get it running under FastCGI after all? I've tried, but can't get it to work. Whenever I change the filenames from .cgi to .fcgi and make the change in the MT config file, it claims it can't find mt.fcgi, even though the file is there :(

ServMe: it's sort of working and sort of broken. Sometimes the fcgi just hangs and goes off into infinity. Did you make sure the file permissions were set correctly on the .fcgi files and in whatever htaccess or httpd.conf file is relevant?
(What are the chances you'll even see this after three months?)
I also am still having huge problems with comment updates and notification (as you can probably tell by my having missed this for three months).
