How to disable output buffering with PHP and nginx

Not really, use the NTS version of php not the TS, and use a pool as
suggested, e.a.;

    # loadbalancing  php
    upstream myLoadBalancer {
        server 127.0.0.1:19001 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
        server 127.0.0.1:19002 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
        server 127.0.0.1:19003 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
        server 127.0.0.1:19004 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
        server 127.0.0.1:19005 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
        server 127.0.0.1:19006 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
        server 127.0.0.1:19007 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
        server 127.0.0.1:19008 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
        server 127.0.0.1:19009 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
        server 127.0.0.1:19010 weight=1 fail_timeout=5;
#        usage: fastcgi_pass myLoadBalancer;
    }

For a 100mb pipeline this is enough to handle many, many concurrent users.

echo Errorlevel = %errorlvl% >>\webroot\_other\fzlogs\ServerWatch.log
echo:>>\webroot\_other\fzlogs\ServerWatch.log

if not exist abort.now goto loop
----------------------------------------------------

Create a service which starts runcgi.cmd at boot.
After the service is running, assign a very limited user to the service.
ea. always jail nginx and php-cgi separately.
