FastCGI is a really great performance booster, good to see bluehost adding support for it with PHP.
BlueHost Knowledge Base, it is quite helpful, you should read through it.
I turned it on too and I haven't had any problems. My site was already fast so I wasn't in dire need of a speed up, but if you are having CPU quota problems, this might be just the thing to try. No code changes are neccesary!
My sites PHP is slower with it for some reason. Well I don't really need it enabled...

Does Fastcgi has any conflict with certain scripts? or recommendations for not using it?
eg: in case your php script already has a cache system!
any idea
im using phpfox some times i was getting cpu qouta errors so i turned this on working great thanks phpfox
All FastCGI does is keep the PHP executable loaded into memory. This improves performance as each time you visit a page the PHP executable does not have to load. So no, it should not conflict with any scripts.Originally Posted by DaHiA

I know this will make mysite lot faster but doest it depend on the code ? i think my website a bit slow
Well I'm not thrilled about this ...
... but I think I'v only copied the same file around ... except for some max_file_size changesPotential Problems:
You will only have one php.ini file available for all subdirectories (/home//php.ini). This is necessary to help optimize the website code as much as possible. If you need multiple php.ini files to accommodate different scripting needs, you can disable FastCGI for PHP on any of your subdirectories while leaving the rest of the account enabled for performance. Please contact support if you need to do this.

Ooooh ok there's defenitely a little zip thereIt's easy to test too you can turn it on and off pretty easily and it defenitely pepped up SMF, phpBB, and even a rather overly burdened Joomla and Gallery2 system

Just a heads up for anyone who has an issue, when I enabled FastCGI it made my sites all return error 500, it turns out there is currently a bug in the script when adding the handler to the .htaccess file in the public_html directory.
If your sites start throwing Internal server errors, check that the code "AddHandler php-fastcgi .php" is on it's own new line, rather than tacked on the end of an existing line in the .htaccess file in the public_html directory.
