PHP-FPM Performance

[Mathew Davies]

Hi,

I'm currently using nginx/0.7.27 + PHP 5.2.8 with the fpm patch on
Ubuntu Server 8.10 with 256 MB RAM. Nginx is serving static files very
fast at 1,500 req/s while serving a phpinfo(); page will drop right
down to 300 req/s. This performance is nothing to be sniffed at with
the current specifications of the machine, but I'm wandering if there
is any room to squeeze more performance from the php side of things.

Kind Regards,
-Mathew Davies.
