I have php installed with IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003. The server is 2.4 ghz and 1 gb of ram. I have tried php on IIS with the ISAPI module and the php.exe CGI/FastCGI. When using the cgi, if I refresh a php real fast (for testing purposes) a lot of php.exe's open. Now I know this is normal but if I keep refreshing, in about 5-10 seconds, 100 or more php.exe's are open and cpu is at 100% and its all lagged out and almost crashes.
So I decided to try the ISAPI. Tried it, php loads a LOT slower, and if I keep refreshing cpu goes to 100% again.
Anyone here with experience with php on windows? Maybe Linux is the better solution, but will it bog down and do the same thing on Linux also? Is there a solution for this problem?
If possible I would like to see a good performance of php on windows, as I am most familiar with windows.
