It works much better because you eliminate that startup overhead and it is almost as fast as mod_php. The reason why shared hosts do not use mod_php is because it is a huge security risk. Also I do believe that the PS feature allows mod_php for php 5. Correct me if I am wrong though as I don't personally use it. @Bootstrike: Try running your domain in fastcgi mode.

How can I fix this? My code is written in php5. maybe this is the wrong place to ask this, but I have a problem with a dreamhost domain where the root folder runs as php4 and other folders inside as php5.
