FastCGI works fairly well in my experience on shared Linux servers (that's how I host my personal projects). And for smaller scripts where I don't bother setting up FCGI, I just use plain CGI, which is just copying files.

I think shared hosts have already enabled FastCGI for all php files

Something like this: http://test.fastcgi.com/drupal/node/5?q=node/10

At least the shared hosting I use (bluehost) has warned me they were enabling this. In 2007

Still, for most uses, CGI works fine.

That only affects PHP scripts running as CGI (using a certain specific configuration), not CGI scripts in general.
