FastCGI for PHP makes all your PHP applications run through mod_fastcgi instead of mod_phpsusexec. This eliminates the overhead of loading the PHP interpretor on every hit. Since it is always in memory ready for the next hit, the responses will be generated faster.

This service has been recently installed and enabled for the public by my webhost and as of last night.. fastCGI is GO!

I have really noticed an huge improvement in the speed - The Dev-Scene front page is being rendered twice as fast on average in my benchmarks.
