I think maybe there's some confusion here with the OP.  Reloading does not
interrupt calls in progress.  They will keep on going through as many
reloads as you want.

Actually, if you're talking about a large scale deployment, AGI scripts
could conceivably be very bad.  Depending on how they are implemented, they
may add considerable processing overhead, which would be compounded on a
heavily taxed server.

Realtime is probably your best bet.
