Are pms number of entries in %INC?

I have 464 entries in %INC, but that's hardly a good measurement
considering how small some of the plugins are.  So maybe pms means
something else?  Sure does to my wife.

Top shows:

A lot of people seem to like FastCGI.  I started out using a FastCGI
setup but restarts were taking a long time (seemed every FastCGI
process had to compile the application).  I moved to mod_perl and
much happier now.
