worker, prefork, .apache2.conf.swp and php

[Stormy <stormy22@xxxxxxxxx>]

Apache2 2.2.17 on a possibly overbuilt (8 core CPU, 8 Gigs RAM, solid state 
+ raid drives) lightly loaded server using MySql, Perl and PHP.  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".)

Am I paranoid?  I found this while trying to find out about 
.apache2.conf.swp and am now totally confused.  Insight from the experts 
here would save my sanity.

Thanks - Paul
