spawn-fcgi is almost the same thing, it's just a generic launcher for
fastcgi processes with features like chroot or change owner. At the
end, there is no spawn-fastcgi process running, as I said it's just a
launcher.

So spawn-fcgi and php-fastcgi are "kif kif" ("the same" in french) or
in a shorter way : "the same shit" (not scalable, no fine management,
no real chroot, ...)

php-fpm is interesting but it has patch PHP to work, when a fully PHP
supported version ? :)
