And the threaded model in php is not that good anyway (TLS will help here). I did not say a threaded model can be the perfect solution but it is the way to go. The filesystem issues are mostly due to what we do in TS mode, way too much pointless operations, even if the real cache helps a little bit here (take this comment with a bit of salt: as in delta with the cache between TS and NTS). However, thinking that you can get anything close to what we have on unix using processes is a sweet dream, which will become a nightmare once you realized that past the little usual tricks, nothing will help you to go further (and we are there already). Any windows developers know that windows is not designed to perform well using processes. No real surprise either that almost all apps able to compare with their unix equivalent uses threads (only or in critical parts).
