I often include the following apache httpd.conf directive inside my virtual host configuration.
AcceptPathInfo On
In the past I have used eZ publish on hosting environments which would not acknowledge this configuration directive enabled. Most solid builds of apache should not have this problem. I've ignored this error in the past without encountering a breakdown.

Thanks for the info. Anyway I found at http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/configuration/configuration/ez_publish_running_on_a_cgi_version_of_php that if the server would have PHP as CGI the url would be http://example.com/site/index.php?/articles.new or eZ wouldn't work...
I have two sites on this server one with uri and other with host configuration and the urls are like:
http://example.com/site/articles/new
and
http://example.com/site/index.php/articles/new
So this should demostrate me that the server is not running PHP as CGI.
Only that's not how you tell if 'something' is running as CGI,
or what CGI is all about with respect to php's usage of the term. It seems as though you confuse url style with a notion of php-cgi configuration ...
The only problem I hear you commenting on with accuracy is slow performance
which has more to do with your own server + eZ publish configuration and your
own specific use of eZ publish and the functional + performance considerations probably need to made by you for your site.

Things like which features or configurations to use for optimum performance. There are much better topics available in the forum for that than this thread.

ps. some hosting providers only provide php via cgi mode for performance reasons ... just most often not in your interest.</i>
