server performance, fastcgi faster than mod_php?

[lkbryant]

hi i want to know if fastcgi is faster than mod_php?

also just how much of an impact does mod_security place on the server?

any server optimization gurus have a say about this?

 

[erohas]

fastcgi is more secure if using with Suexec
fastcgi is more flexibility than mod_php
sometime faster if it properly configured
but customization and tuning with directadmin more heavy than mod_php

PHP at all my servers worked through mod_fcgid 2.2 under apache 2.0.x

can you elaborate on what you mean by, sometimes faster if configured correctly?

can you elaborate on what you mean by, sometimes faster if configured correctly?

procs lifetime
max procs
max request per procs
etc.

huh?
i m sorry but i am wondering if you can tell me how to 'configure' fastcgi as you said?
you mentioned about max proces, etc... once i get those numbers, could you tell me what i do with it?
currently, i just have fastcgi setup via custombuild.

thanks.
