Just a quick side note on this... PHP's own website (www.php.net) indicates
that although the API modules (for IIS, I don't know about Apache) provide
significant performance improvement they are not to be considered stable at
this time.  So if you need REAL stability in a production environment you'll
want to use the CGI version.
