title: FastCgi vs PHP-FPM using Nginx web server
body: <p>I am using this <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-13.04-nginx-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p4">tutorial</a> to install nginx, php and mysql on my new web server.</p>
  
  <p>The tutorial is using ISPConfig 3 and there is an option to whether use FastCgi or PHP-FPM.</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering which is better of the two. In terms of performance and speed, which of the two is the best to use inline with nginx?</p>
  
  <p>BTW, I have also memcached and xcache enabled on my server.</p>
