+There is a patch to Trac 0.8.1 available adding support for the [http://www.fastcgi.com/ FastCGI] interface. Like TracModPython, this allows trac to remain resident, and is faster than external CGI interfaces which must start a new process for each page view. However, unlike mod_python, it is able to support [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html SuEXEC]. Additionaly, it is supported by much wider variety of webservers.

+== The patch ==
+
+ * http://bdash.net.nz/files/trac-fcgi-0.patch
+ * [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.trac.general/2294 Mailing List thread]
+
+== Simple configuration ==
+{{{
+# Enable fastcgi for .fcgi files
+# if using a distro package for mod_fcgi, something like this is probably already done
+<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
+     AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
+     FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache2/fastcgi 
+</IfModule>
+LoadModule fastcgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fastcgi.so
+}}}
+
+You can either setup the TRAC_ENV as an overall default:
+{{{
+FastCgiConfig -initial-env TRAC_ENV=/path/to/env/trac
+}}}
+Or '''NOT VERIFIED''' you should be able to do it per-directory as described in TracInstall for normal CGIs.
+
+Configure ScriptAlias or similr options as described in TracInstall, but calling cgi-bin/trac.fcgi instead of cgi-bin/trac.cgi
