 This setup considered to be secured, because in case of hacking attempt it is possible to upload files to nobody directory only and modify nobody files only, no risk to overwrite or modify index.php file for example (if it has correct permissions)

 This is used on shared hosting to separate users from each other, so it is considered to be safe on shared hosting environment. But when attacker get access to your server - access to all files is open, any file can be modified/removed in any folder, so it maybe more dangerous result in case of hack attempt. 
 
-'''Advantages:'''
+__Advantages:__
  * all files are always handled under one owner, so you don't need to bother about files permissions
  * PHP settings can be changed without web-server reload 
 
-'''Disadvantages:'''
+__Disadvantages:__
  * slow
  * opcode cache extensions are not supported
  * insecure
 
-'''Conclusion:''' it is better to switch to another setup if you have VPS or dedicated server. If you are on shared hosting try to ask to move your account to another server with another setup. If you have no choice - try to lower number of accesses to webserver: you can do it by uninstalling the following modules in Dolphin (they make periodic lightweight request to web-server): messenger, simple messenger, spy and disable floating member menu. Or at least increase time between requests.
