DSO as PHP handler

I"m puzzled over the role of DSO. I"m told you can only use it as a handler on one version of PHP at a time. If your server has multiple versions of PHP how do you decide which one to assign to DSO? Any advise appreciated.

  This depends on the intended use. mod_php (DSO) > Fast, low memory consumption, low cpu consumption. It allows you to use accelerators such as opcache. Running inside the Apache chroot is unsafe. Suphp > It is slow, low memory consumption but high cpu consumption, does not allow you to use accelerators such as opcache, but it is safe.

  Wow. Thank you for that answer and the links. I"ve read thru them and have a much better understanding. It seems like FstCGI is the way to go if you have the memory to support it.
