Hey All, I am looking for an authoritative answer to which is faster, mod_fastCGI or mod_php? as with most performance questions everyone seems to have a different answer (when I googled it)... As I understand it, for Apache to handle an additional request with mod_php it has to create a child thread with the entire Apache and mod_php environment, so there is alot of overhead, whereas with fastCGI Apache can make an additional request to the existing fastCGI connection, thereby saving the overhead. But isn't it a limitation of Apache that it cant send multiple requests through a single connection? So wouldn't it be creating an additional apache child + mod_fastCGI which then calls PHP for each connection? Anyway I'm not seeing the performance gain, but don't know if I have things setup right.
What would be a good way to increase performance of a large number of simultaneous requests, all requesting small amounts of dynamically generated content? (think lots of AJAX : ) Thanks! _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
