Aolserver article
Aolserver with Oracle is the most scalable solution available. Aolserver offers the advantage of a stripped down, highly performant server kernel which keeps all tcl scripts resident in webserver memory space. Aolserver works natively with Oracle. Correctly configured, Oracle will handle checkpoints (diskwrites) in this manner.
I can install and configure this kind of setup for you. I know the guy who wrote the above article; he was my
teacher. My C/C++ skills come primarly from working at Borland (working with C++ Builder) for 3 years. Translating c-based cgi over to tcl would be straightforward. This is certainly not the only way to do this, it's just the most forward thinking in terms of performance and reliability. A similar alternative is to use Aolserver and Postgresql, which has the advantage of not paying Oracle license fees, but sacrifices some scalability.
Lastly, you could stay with apache/cgi and just use a postgresql backend configured to use a big memory cache. That's probably the fastest conversion.
