I'd agree with that. Using fastcgi is similar to using a reverse proxy. Rather than apache running the dynamic content generation, it's just dispatching queries to back-end app servers and then forwarding the results back to the client. (Which is different to trying to efficiently manage many php interpreters within a multi-threaded apache process) Given what we've heard about Tim's environment, I suspect the machines will have taken the simplistic option, and be running PHP within the Apache process, rather than as separate processes connected to Apache via a socket.
