Hello All,

I was using APACHE and I decided to migrate to nginx.
I researched and nginx is supposed to have a completely superior performance for webpages that have lot of simultaneous requests, such as real time pages sending AJAX requests every second.

My application is based on MYSQL + PHP + AJAX + JAVASCRIPT.

After I installed the NGINX, I started testing it, and noticed that something is strange due the HIGH-CPU usage of PHP-CGI process.

The curious is that with around 6-8 Tabs open on Firefox, I can reach around 80% of CPU usage. that is completely high, even with this test machine that have a cpu of only 1.8ghz. But talking about only 8 web pages open, reach this amount of CPU usage, I think that something is wrong.

Anyone can please advise me?
