I'm intrigued to see so many people concerned with the performance of Apache. If you're writing a PHP app, surely the performance bottleneck will be PHP and perhaps the database connection(s) rather than the webserver, no? Perhaps if your site is mostly cached static content, it makes sense, but otherwise isn't it just complicating your life given how universal support for Apache is?
