But there are even some theoretical problems with preforking. For example the most secure way to set up your users is to use a different UNIX UID for each user. So for preforking that means your preforked processes must run as root until they receive the information about which UID they need to run as.
And the code running as root should be minimized..

True, but it's a common scenario to have thousands of users, in which
case they usually have all the same UID.

I'm hoping that'll change some day in future when there are better tools to easily support UID-per-user. :)
