Yes, I've seen this excellent page.  I have followed it pretty closely
with only a few exceptions.  For instance, I am using security2_module
to do the chroot, not chrootssh and I'm using suexec to change users,
hence I have this:

    FastCgiWrapper /usr/local/sbin/suexec

I do not see the same behavior reported on this web page.  For example
under "E : Troubleshooting the PHP Wrapper", I do not see an fcgi-pm
process, I only see my wrapper php.fcgi process.  I don't even have
fcgi-pm on my system.  Their processes seem normal and reasonable, I
don't see that on my box.

As soon as I set PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN>0, the number of processes I get seems to be
MaxSpareServers x PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN+1.  This seems wrong.
