yes, in 1.4.x - in 1.5.x adaptive process spawning has been
removed/not included.

also, i believe it is considered "broken" by the lighty community, so
it's not very useful to begin with.

php-fpm to me is the right type of tool for the job. originally i had
a "wishlist" item for something that would have been a fastcgi proxy
layer - essentially everything php-fpm provides... so php-fpm to me is
a godsend, as soon as Andrei finishes the process spawning work, it
will make my life so much more enjoyable - no more wasting resources
trying to determine manually how many engines to have sitting around,
etc...
