Bomis. It's the bomb. Of course, changing Wikipedia from php/mysql

reports from around the web suggest strongly that php is fast,
particularly when persistency is used (as we do).
FastCGI would be a step back for Wikipedia. PHP is better.
FastCGI was an improvement for me, because I was running old CGI.
Plain old CGI is 1994.
FastCGI is 1996/1998.
PHP3 is 1999.
PHP4 is 2000.
