Someone else emailed me about using FastCGI with Apache 2.1/event but
I just figured that there would be a significant slowdown using
FastCGI rather than a module/handler. (Currently I compile PHP into
Apache statically and turn off Apache's dynamic module loading ability
-- something I couldn't figure out in Apache2). What is your
experience with FastCGI?

Sadly, this won't work with any system I manage since we do a lot of
stat reporting, even on a per user basis. And we need to have PHP
loaded to know the user, etc...
Still, I looked at lighttpd and it looks promising. The one thing that
started all of this was Apache 2.1's event MPM that used a single
thread to handle all open Keep-Alives looked very efficient.
