I'm personally running both PHP and Python (Django) on a single Linode. I have 3 php-cgi instances resident at about 20MB each. nginx is resident at 2MB. Although the RAM usage is not much different, nginx serves static content, so the PHP processes service far fewer requests, raising the requests/sec limit.</p> I highly recommend a combination of nginx and FastCGI.
