Putting an entire PHP request in one of these nginx threads seems like a bad idea to me. Tons of things in PHP or in libraries called by PHP are blocking, plus ZTS mode is slower, uses more memory than non-ZTS mode and is in general just more complex to work with, especially when it comes to process-wide things like env, locale and signals. Having a clear separation between PHP and the web server makes many things much simpler and more robust. You can also already do nginx to php-fpm without any network overhead by using a unix domain socket. -Rasmus
