My experience dictates the contrary.
Apache 2 is much faster with PHP that Apache 1.3. I run an enterprise
web application in my company with about 950 users concurrently. I
configured the apache logs to add the execution time for each request
(this is done with %T in the LogFormat). We started the production
system around 2 years ago with RH9 and Apache 1.3. Only 72% of the
requests scored 0 seconds (which means less than 1 second). Then I
updated to Fedora Core 2 with Apache 2 and it scored 96%.
I know the kernel is a lot better but this improvement is almost because
of Apache 2 since I tested Apache 1.3 in the same system and I got back
to the 72% performance.
I guess this dependes of what you use. Because PHP has an Apache filter
and an Apache handler. I use the later.
