One of our readers pointed at using php-fpm for PHP script processing. I spoke with my colleagues and we finally agreed that we will do php-fpm testing and in case the performance is really significant – probably start using it in production environments.

We will set-up two test environments:

First one will be Apache + php-fpm

and secondary test environment:

nginx + php-fpm

I read the features of php-fpm, it’s architecture and I believe the performance will be very much improved comparing to mod_php and the like. As long as your server supports FastCGI, php-fpm should be working without any problems. We will post results very shortly. Keep it cool!

Ps. almost forgot posting php-fpm URL..
