I'm using OpenResty, and I would say that it gives me more performance
than Apache (as an app server) would in ANY configuration. Possibly by a
factor of 10-40, though I haven't actually done an apples-to-apples
benchmark -- and I'm also using LuaJIT now instead of PHP, so that's a
HUGE speed advantage by itself (Lua being the FASTEST dynamic language
around, and PHP being one of the slowest).

I've heard of people getting 70k+ concurrent connections per second
using Lua (or LuaJIT maybe) and OpenResty. My low-end VPS can't handle
that many connections, but it easily handles 3k+ connections per second,
including complex app logic.

YMMV.
