CGI PHP vs. FastCGI vs. mod_php vs. application server?

greeting all,

As far as I know, there are different ways to write a PHP application:
- CGI, ie. the usual way : some PHP code in web pages, and the PHP
interpreter is loaded each time a PHP page is called
- FastCGI : apparently, the interpreter is loaded at boot time; the
application itself might also be compiled and loaded once
- mod_php : same as FastCGI?
- application server : the application is compiled and loaded once;
the application can either have its own web server, or use a web
server as front end, and only handle its own part

Any tips much appreciated, thank you.
