Re: Circumstances when mod_php would run faster than PHP-FPM?

After switching to mod_php from php-fpm we are told the site is working 4x faster using mod_php instead of php-fpm.

Any explanation?

Thanks

Mod_proxy_fcgi + php-fpm or mod_fcgid with php fcgi sapi should both be equivalent when tuned correctly.

Your only option for running php in process efficiently is to use the non-threadsafe php in the httpd preform module.  Your only option for running httpd efficiently is the event, or at least the worker mpm.

Since usually only a subset of the http requests are to a php resource, the answer is almost always 'no'.

On the same system, same web site, are there circumstances when Apache using mod_php would run faster than Apache using PHP-FPM?

Thanks
