That's a great explanation (wasn't aware of it!), but that's actually not
true, it's much better to use FastCGI instead (faster and definitely a lot
more reliable and robust).
Looks like XAMPP might be under the same false impression.  Might be a good
opportunity in PHP 8 to change these not-so-healthy defaults.  After all,
ISAPI used to be super popular too (under Windows) until worked with
Microsoft to bring FastCGI into IIS.
