Thanks Scott, this is EXACTLY what I was hoping to hear.

Welcome to Witango Dan,
Your question is very subjective. Overall your performance is going hinge on the how well written the code is that you're hosting.
In fact, you may have it backwards as for as PHP is concerned.
CGI processing, like the kind utilized by some versions of PHP, can involve spawning a unique separate thread for "EVERY" single page request. CGI is generally a very poor processing model for demanding applications.
Whereas a sophisticated programming platform like Witango will manage sharing existing threads for page requests and other related processes.
I wouldn't get hung up on what you see as a "running" process, I'd be more concerned about thread management.
I can't speak for Lasso (I thought it was dead a long time ago), but Witango has provisions for managing how many threads to allow and depending on the version you have, you can have more than one instance of the Witango Server running on the same machine which will actually boost performance.
Upon install, Witango takes very little memory as a Service and will be hardly noticeable. It's not a hog in my experience, but again, how well written the code is, is a factor at runtime.
Hope that helps.
