new PHP performance player php-fpm
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..

php-fpm provides VERY GOOD performance…

Are you done with this benchmark ?
I’d like to see some Apache vs Nginx comparison, both with php-fpm. :p

Hello
Apart from the benchmarks, surely interesting, I’d like to know whether you are successfully using nginx+php-fpm somewhere (I see this blog runs on Apache), or whether you too, like me, are having issues with this combination.
nginx+php-fpm seems extremely fast to me, but after a while the application has been in idle (no traffic), all the php-cgi processes die so I get “502/bad gateway” errors from nginx and have to manually “php-fpm start” to get things working again…
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

Sorry, been working a lot lately – doing some construction work and have to spend much less time working on performance tests. I hope we will do some tests in a month or two. Please stay tunned!
