Hi Glen, I'm running PHP 5.3 and Apache with mod_mpm_worker, but not using mod_php. I'm running it with a mod_fcgid setup, which is nice: it means requests for non-PHP content don't need to involve PHP at all. They're instead served by a nice, small Apache worker thread. And you still get to sidestep the thread safe/non-thread safe issue, because the PHP workers still get their own processes.
I still wouldn't recommend the setup to anyone who has memory to burn. I primarily went after it because I'm running it on a very memory-constrained VPS. The PHP fastcgi workers seem to leak memory at an astonishing rate - probably because under a mod_php setup they'd never have to live beyond one request. (Graphs of the leakage here: http://tinyurl.com/nuttqh) The next thing I'm going to try is the FPM patches for nginx. But I, frankly, don't fancy my chances of getting something more stable.
