As mentioned previously, due to the blocking semantics of file I/O on unix,
single process servers will only provide peak throughput if everything is
resident. By pre-forking, data can continued to be served if one process blocks
on file I/O. Apache already handles multiple connections within a process, so
it does something like this already.
