Re: [PHP-INSTALL] huge performance diff between windows and linux.

I just tested PHP 5.5.3 running on Apache as Fast CGI with mod_fcgid and 
got these results:

PHP version : 5.5.3
Platform : WINNT
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 0.768 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 1.876 sec.
test_loops                : 0.728 sec.
test_ifelse               : 0.521 sec.
--------------------------------------
Total time:               : 3.893 sec.

And according to a wiki I read (don't remember which one) mod_fastcgi is supposed to be even faster.

So I guess PHP runs faster as CGI than a module, which to me is weird.

Which leads me to my next question, how is that possible having in mind that as per php.net:

===========
Warning

A server deployed in CGI mode is open to several possible vulnerabilities. Please read our CGI security section to learn how to defend yourself from such attacks.
===========

I guess it's time to open a bug in PHP's bugzilla site.
