> When the number of idle sites are order of magnitudes larger than the number of active sites at any given moment that solution is equivalent to running PHP as CGI. That would price you out of the market. (And spare me the morals please, as much as I'd like to see mod_php dead it is still an important market which drove PHP's success.)
Right, because idle sites cause that much load that cgi is actually a problem... Its the website that actually use their allotted bandwith/load/whatever that are a problem not the thousand with 3 visitors a day.

On a large shared web host, a very small percentage of the sites are have traffic at any given time, but it's still a lot in absolute numbers.
The only possible way to cram as many sites as possible on your host is to run them with a common interpreter, which can pose security problems. That's where mod_php succeeded.
(By the way, I got the answer to my specific question below, which is that other restrictions still apply.)
