I can't speak to the exact implementation of fastcgi, but cgi in general
forks a process to run a shell that executes the program. Here's some
discussion on fastcgi
http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/node/6?q=node/15
You can run php scripts either directly as threads within the memory
space of the web server (usually Apache). This is the mod_php
implementation and must run on the same machine as the Apache server.
Or you can run the script as a separate process either on the local
machine with the web server or on another machine.
What's your specific concern here? AFAIK from the above page, you write
a script and it will run via CGI or on a fastcgi implementation
unchanged.
