I'm using Debian Lenny. I'm trying to switch over to from apache to nginx--and so far I like the transition. But everything I'm reading suggests to use php-fpm, but since Lenny comes with 5.2.6, FPM is a patch, and I'd have to uninstall the PHP debs and install php from source--at that point i could just as well install the latest version of PHP from source.

Currently I'm somewhat following this guide but it seems pretty inefficient, running nginx directly against php-cgi... its spawned processes seem to spike up to 10% CPU per each page load.

What's your actual question? That guide is way outdated, don't follow it, other than that I don't know what to tell you. – Martin Fjordvald Sep 8 '11 at 21:36
So why not upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze? Lenny is obsolete. – mailq Sep 8 '11 at 22:25
I would love to update to squeeze, but I have end to end control over a great deal of client installations (they're all very similar save for some configs) which is why I'm looking at the performance benefits of nginx, and upgrading the distro is not an option. Otherwise you're absolutely correct. – andyortlieb Sep 9 '11 at 19:21
