I havenât used nginx, but most alternatives are better than stock apache setup when 
working with php. 

The trade off is if you donât need thread safe (most people donât , but think they 
do) then swapping to apache mpm or nginx will give better through put and possibly 
better memory usage. but its no panacea, profile (just use âtop' initially) your php 
memory usage, I recently saw a centos 6 stock apache setup falling apart with only 
12 paralel active php sessions running.
