nginx and php5 fastcgi

A while ago I posted that the combination of nginx and php5 in fastcgi mode was actually working better for me than apache with mod-php5.

In order to help me easily deploy new web hosts that use this setup, I created a tiny package that contains an init script and a configuration file.

Virtually all of my Drupals are hosted on a single server, running Apache with mod_php5. Apache is by no means light-weight, so the server is starting to creak a bit under the combined load of all these sites.

I've been meaning to have a go at configuring nginx with php5 in fastcgi mode, to check the difference this would make on system load.
