Well, I guess you are right. One can compile multiple versions of PHP to
run as Apache module in parallel by changing the sources (one has to
change some symbol names) but I think Strato didn't do that since most
shared hosting services run PHP as CGI anway for security reasons.

Also, I think writing applications with high performance requirements
somewhat contradicts deploying them on shared hosts. If you need
performance: Get a dedicated server and - if you want - even compile yer
own hand-optimized PHP.

And: Clever development circumvents the CGI bottleneck. Developing is
absolutely no problem under CGI since it's done by just a few users and
here the flexibility of multiple version kicks in: You can freely
choose! For the production version you simply use a good userland cache
that minimizes the work done by PHP.
