You will get performance like CGI (new process started on every 
request). I would not say it is THE best practice.

My personal experience is that perl fcgi processes could serve an order 
of magnitude more requests per second compared to the same functionality 
php fcgi process with roughly the same memory consumption. In the both 
cases the test was CPU bound.
