Apache2 2.2.17 on a possibly overbuilt (8 core CPU, 8 Gigs RAM, solid

Built using 'worker' rather than 'prefork' (Googling seemed to suggest
performance improvement under light loads) but now I'm reading various
reports that PHP could be troublesome (Debian User forum, "PHP5 stopped
working".)
[snip]
PHP has had long-standing thread safety issues. The "worker" MPM for
Apache HTTP Server is threaded. This can create problems and
instability. See
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.apache2>
If you want to use PHP, either use the "prefork" MPM or FastCGI.
Appreciated. Is it just a question of:
$ sudo apt-get remove apache2-mpm-worker apache2-threaded-dev
$ sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork
or do I need a complete remove/reinstall?
I'll also look into FastCGI - I've got no experience with it.
Which would you prefer? (particularly for speed performance)
Again thanks - Paul
