My qualm was having to write a custom script to manage spawn-fcgi pools and it ignored the max requests environment variable (that must be fixed by now)

I had the same issue.

Yes the only drawback with php-fpm is the custom build but if you want an optimized binary with all the stuff you want and not the stuff you don't want that's what of comes down to anyway.

I tried looking for an example of spawn-fcgi for something other than php (very quickly though) and every example was for that...

Yeah I saw that and I wanted to ask why anyone would use it after using php-fpm...

I've had zero issues with spawn-fcgi over the last couple years. I can't speak for anyone else, but the appeal of maintaining a custom PHP build is of zero interest to me.

Seems like spawn-fcgi is designed only for PHP ... fcgiwrap is aiming for general purpose too... I would only see a benefit for spawn-fcgi if it was useful for other things than PHP now that php-fpm is there...

AFAIK, spawn-fcgi can be used to launch any FCGI app. I rarely use FCGI *except* for PHP, but on Lighty spawn-fcgi is the de facto standard for launching a FCGI, so don't see how it could be PHP-specific... unless you are asserting Lighty can only host PHP FCGI apps?

But it won't launch more than one instance of anything beside php. The -C flag only works for php - unless that is changed with the new version as well. Using it with fcgiwrap is very limiting.
