Jupp. My experience with the new ISAPI is that it's faster, but blows up just like befor when you put it to some real traffic. Access Violation... *bang* Tried it on a couple of production-sites (that runs vBulletin very well in CGI mode). ISAPI kept up for about 20 min, and then died. There still seem to be some serious memory leaks. This problem automatially becomes more evident when traffic increases above "one guy doing som test surfing for a couple of days." Popular web-forums is a good test ;-) I've gone through the open bugs on http://bugs.php.net and found that several of the open 4.0.6 bugs still exist in 4.1.0. I think I'll wait for a few iterations before I give it another try. Luckily I have the HW to run PHP in CGI :). IIS5 with PHP in CGI-mode is rock stable. Been running it for 10 months with NO downtime (except when upgrading). Regards - Tommy
