By that reasoning Apache should be faster than nginx, but alas.

I think drawing any conclusions in the absence of benchmarks is unwise.

It is often a mistake to draw conclusions even with benchmarks. Are the benchmarks measuring what is relevant to your use case? Are the benchmarks unbiased.

Your link does not seem to contain any benchmarks anyway.

The Ferron benchmarks on their home page say Apache Pre fork MPM outperforms Apache Even MPM which seems odd to me.

What?, apache have mpm_event since many years ago, you don't need prefork process model except if you want use mod_php or something not thread safe.
