Yes. This is true. In WebServer 2.0, we provide Web Request Broker architecture which allows users to write custom Web application and be loaded by the server as a shared library instead of being executed as a CGI-BIN program. This results in a marked performance increase. The PL/SQL Agent (formerly known as Oracle Web Agent/OWA) has been converted to utilize this feature. So you should see an improvement in performance. Yet, we still keep the old CGI-BIN version in case somebody would like to use it.

Please refer to http://www.oracle.com/products/websystem/webserver/html/ws2_home.html for more information.

Thanks.

Robert
