It is preferred to let LiteSpeed start FCGI applications no matter which Process Manager is used. I personally prefer LiteSpeed's built-in process manager. It is more intelligent, and have the following advantages
1) On-demand dynamic spawning, uses system resource more efficiently.
2) Fault tolerance. Some FastCGI app is not very reliable and may stop working after running for a while, LiteSpeed can start a new group of processes automatically, most FCGI built-in proc manager cannot do that.
3) Simple and easy, you don't need to worry about starting the app manually.

Even when an application's internal process manager is prefered, you can still let LiteSpeed start the parent process automatically, in that case, just set "instances" to "1", and set the command line parameter '-n' to match "Max Connections" and get rid of "-d" option.
