As the other person that answered to you pointed out, there's a point where your HTTP server becomes the bottleneck, ie your backend being more concurrent and faster at producing content than your server is at delivering it.

But I feel the real bottleneck is developer pain. I switched to nginx from Apache like everyone else because nginx was nice to use and Apache wasn't. The performance aspect was only a rationalization.

What was not so nice about Apache?

Mentioning without context sounds like an emotional one.

I found Apache configuration to be cumbersome and hard to read, with nginx being comparatively clean and making reverse-proxying and caching easy. Keep in mind that was other a decade ago. I don't know where Apache is now, it's not something I have reassessed and I don't know if I would make the same choices with my current experience.
