There are some instances that CGI mode would work out better.  We (IATS) 
is finding out that it would be easier to run Bengal with PHP in CGI 
mode (which requires a #!/usr/local/bin/php at the top of the script) so 
that a PHP page executes as the user who owns the script (because suexec 
takes over at that point).  Sure it slows things down, but then you 
don't have to do anything funky with permissions on directories (to 
allow for the nobody user or whatever) to write files out or to read 
other configuration files.

Cheers,
    Ryan
