If you install php4, you will be required to use apache2-mpm-prefork. Apache2-mpm-worker is supposedly a bit faster. However, I doubt very much that the difference is very noticable unless you have apache handling a high volume of requests. since you can only have one installed at a time, you should be able to check out what is being used with apt-cache: $ apt-cache policy <pkg name> -davidc -- gpg-key: http://www.zettazebra.com/files/key.gpg
