Well, you are correct that the size of the executable is irrelevant, but having different instances of PHP means less shared pages when multiple copies are loaded. There is a definite advantage to having a single httpd binary that is the same for everyone when it comes to runtime memory usage.

This is true, there will be less shared pages. I *want* this! (Though I was talking about PHP and not httpd). Well, they are commonly one and the same. But I guess you are on a Windows/CGI platform? This doesn't really apply there. -Rasmus -- PHP Development Mailing List
