A PHP code page is written to respond to a single HTTP request and return 
a single response. So to handle multiple simultaneous requests, you need 
multiple instances of that code running. mod_php can’t do that within a 
single process (I don’t think), so you need a separate process for each 
simultaneous connection. (Of course Web servers have techniques for 
keeping and reusing those worker processes, to avoid doing fork(2) calls 
all the time.)

With Python ASGI, you control what happens. A single process can handle 
multiple connections, if you so choose.
