[ZendTo] Speeding up Apache

[Jules]

John,

I was just going to publish it as guides on the website. I have no great 
intention to change the ZendTo Installer to the php-fpm model. I would 
need a lot more evidence from ZendTo site admins (i.e. you folks!) 
before I considered changing the Installer.

How might we benchmark ZendTo to see the difference on various platforms?

Cheers,
Jules.
