You have the choice. If more people use mod_php than fastcgi, that's because they're choosing it. > Similarly, later Apache 2.x might officially support event based model > rather than multi-process one. Apache 2.2 does, if you want it to. Since Apache 2.0, we've had the MPM architecture, which means you can plug in your choice of processing model. That's also how Apache 2 works cross-platform, rather than being (like Apache 1) a Unix server ported with lots of compromises in performance/etc to other platforms. > We know that fastcgi & event based model have some very attractive > reasons, such as better usage of cpu time, more robust even under high > loading. Do we? Of course you can set up test cases where that applies.

Apache gives you the choice. Write a new MPM to drive it as you want. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/
