Have you asked on their mailing list? From a quick glance I can't see any
compelling reasons for using this over Apache's own suEXEC feature. If it did
something more clever, like maintained a pool of PHP interpreters with
different credentials so it had multiple users but the performance advantages
of running as a module, then it might make sense, but it just seems to be a
setuid CGI wrapper.
