I am not quite sure what it is that you want. It seems obvious to me that containers should have more overhead than CGI scripts; it also provides a better isolation story. I mean, you already said it:
> [the Apache/CGI model] does provide for a challenging security environment. That can be improved when starting from scratch though.
And the number of lines of code in the example probably doesn't quite matter so much, because that's all it is: an example. I am sure that you can run more lines of code than that.
> Euhm ... what was the criticism of mod_perl/mod_php again? Yes, that it did exactly that.
I mean, that's also basically my point, that Lambda is basically the CGI of the container world. Lambda and CGI scripts really do seem like they are basically the same thing; I still speculate that they will be used to fill similar use cases. I am not really opining on which one is actually better.
