Isn't the language much bigger than the size of the parsed code? Using PHP with FPM or with mod_php, you have that language runtime sitting there unused even if there are no requests. By your logic, CGI would be the cheapest.
- brightball 11y ago> By your logic, CGI would be the cheapest. It would be. With PHP the language is loaded once regardless of how much code is going to be parsed and executed. The amount loaded matches size of the code base with other languages that have to boot up, which puts a cap on how much low traffic code you can put on a single server.
