I ran suphp for a bit. it could not handle the load on my servers. it
looks like it essentially runs an actual php cgi process to handle
each request. That's hardly scalable. Oh yeah - it requires Apache.
Puke.

Andrei calls it apache style. Basically I think it's just a basic
"Have $x number of engines at start, have max of $y engines, keep $z
engines idle" etc...

It's not really a straight apples to apples comparison of apache vs.
nginx style of handling processes... that's just the title he's given
it on how you define the threshholds, I believe.
