Recommended server mode for EA?

Hi all

New poster here. I have installed EA using the build available here (thanks!) for both 5.1.4 and 5.1.6, and as far as I can tell at this early stage, both work fine with a symfony framework application I am running. I am using Apache 2.0.59 for both and it really was plug-n-play.

I am not much of an expert on server configuration, and wondered what server mode EA generally runs best in (we are presently using Apache2Handler and a reasonable speed increase is already noticeable). We don't have a large number of concurrent users so reliability is more key for us than speed. Is FastCGI a good approach, or is mod_php better? What do users here find the simplest to set up? I presume in using Apache2Handler, scripts do not persist in memory from one request to another?

Thanks all. And thanks Chris for providing the binaries - it is very useful for those of us without the necessary compilation tools!
