Hello All, I thought I'd share this experience with everyone. I've transitioned from mod_php to mod_fcgid in the last couple of days and I can say I'm stunned at the results. My memory consumption has dropped down 50% and my Drupal installations' response time has almost tripled. I'll keep tuning the settings and get back with results, I could also share some munin before/after shots and current mpm_worker settings and my previous mpm_prefork settings (yes, no need for mpm_prefork now!) So far I've seen no downside to the transition, would love to hear opinions, experience and feedback especially by people who've went that route and who have more experience with it than I have.

Oopst, that should have been, response time went down to about a third of what it was with mod_php and mpm_prefork. On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 6:34 AM, Ashraf Amayreh <mistknight@gmail.com>wrote:

I assume you have a computer with multiple cores? Is there any reason to think it would do better with a single core machine? How about writing up your experiences on D.O? Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

I had a similar experience on my now-ancient multicore laptop. I'd love to read a piece that does some analysis of the effect. MM On Tuesday, December 13, 2011, Ms. Nancy Wichmann <nan_wich@bellsouth.net> wrote:

Hi, Ashraf. FCGI will boost just about everything, but you should know that *just* one feature will not work with it: file upload progress. Please see http://drupal.org/node/633862. If you can live without that (as I can, speed is more important than upload progress, most of the times), you should have no problems.
