PHP Sux0rz

Seriously.

PHP5 = really really slow with our codebase. Tried mod_php5 and fastcgi. Both were really slow under load. Tried APC. Still slow. Reverted back to PHP4, load settled down somewhat (load avg of 3-10 depending on traffic).

Finally tried APC, and the load averages dropped to .2 with the same traffic. This indicates that the load (at least under php4) was all compilation, not traffic.

Someone please explain to me why mod_php doesn't behave like mod_perl and give you long running processes. Please?
