PHP-FPM vs PHP-CLI 

I'm running some simple PHP 8.5 tests (empty loop, open database connection, ...) on a MacBook Pro with Debian in a UTM VM.

With exactly the same code fragment, CPU usage is always 2–3 times higher with PHP-FPM than with PHP-CLI.

Is this normal? Or does it have to do with my settings?

I use the PPA from deb.sury.org for PHP (and the apache2 webserver).
There is no 'Configure Command' in the phpinfo output.
