AFAIK, you should use a shared module when you're also using other
Apache modules that interface to MySQL. When you ./configure the PHP
interpreter, you get this info:

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I know is that when using
shared it is compiled as a shared object and only loaded when needed. This
decreases ram usage (which is good) , but increases load (which is bad) .

If you have a few spare kb's of ram, I wouldn't recommend using shared...
