If I run FCGI / Fast CGI and PHP, is it better to use the non-thread safe version of PHP?

Would the scripts execute any faster?

Over fcgid the NTS is a bit faster than the TS version. I made some tests and at least for me it was faster on apache. Also you should use the VS9 build.

Excellent. Yes I am looking at deploying another web server. At issue is the lack of php.ini control per virtual host. Now I read a very interesting tutorial on configuring IIs 7 for FCGI and with the ability to have unique INI files per vhost. Unless I read this wrong of course.

Is that possible with Apache?

Yes in PHP 5.3 you also can define that in the php.ini itself per vhost or IP or by path.


In earlier version you have the chance to configure that in each vhost (httpd.conf) with php_admin_value
