It doesn't really surprise me. The bucket brigade stuff adds overhead as
does the thread stuff in PHP. There is nothing inherently faster about
threaded apps. They tend to scale a little bit better in most cases, so
under extreme load performance should be better. But under light loads I
would expect a non-threaded Apache+PHP to be quicker.
