  I'd suggest staying on the tried and true path, using either mod_php or PHP-FPM, if you're looking at the available options out there. The best performance gains you can attain in setting up a LAMP stack (or any of the common derivatives):

  • serving static content: Anything that doesn't hit the PHP interpreter is going to improve performance (it's why Nginx is commonly used in front of Apache or PHP-FPM.

  • op-code caching: It more or less compiles your code into machine code (similar to compiling Java), such that subsequent requests to a script can be served quicker.

    • If using PHP >= 5.5: OPcache is distributed by default (but distributions typically have it available as a separate package).
    • PHP <= 5.4: OPcache is available, but I'd suggest going with APC.

  • caching dynamic content: If you can, avoid expensive operations like queries to the database, writing files to disk, etc. A commonly used tactic is to cache content when possible. Does every request for a blog post require running a hundred different queries against a database? Probably not. We could cache some of that data once fetched, and serve it to anyone who fetches that page subsequently.

  ruid2 hasn't been thoroughly vetted for security (its last change, 2 months ago, was a security fix, and it hasn't made its way to the sourceforge repo yet). I wouldn't trust it, and would stick with plain old mod_php without the ruid2 module.

  SuPHP is nice, but it has been EOLed, and is no longer supported.
