Be careful about relying on profiling/benchmarking tools, most of them
don't replicate network latency and simulate slow/idle/keepalive clients
at all.

I wrote david many years ago to simulate slow client behavior
and to convince Apache mpm_prefork + (mod_php|mod_perl) users to
put nginx in front of their apps regardless of what benchmarks
were saying: http://bogomips.org/david.git
