Nadav,
I wouldn't say there is a performance issue (not without a
benchmark in my hands) but FastCGI is a complex protocol, Apache's
implementation can be quite difficult to manage and keep running
smoothly. Many people prefer to setup a Lighttpd or a Nginx to talk
proxy to Apache and let those do the FastCGI stuff.
