Apparently there are benefits. In Safari's case - bigger battery life.

Install Apache/PHP/MySQL on Snow Leopard

Create /etc/php.ini and make it writable 

cd /etc
sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini
sudo chmod 777 php.ini

In php.ini, find this line: 

;date.timezone =

Uncomment it and insert your time zone (http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php) 

date.timezone =America/Vancouver

Restore php.ini permissions 

sudo chmod 444 php.ini

Restart Apache 

sudo apachectl restart

As promised. Hot tip - you should probably avoid Entropy just for now (certainly - they will update it).

For whatever reason - I had a myriad of problems attempting to get it to work with Apache on my new 64 bit machine. Once we switched back to the original Apache PHP5 module, it seemed to work properly.
