You're being awfully presumptuous -- there's nothing to indicate the parent isn't already using an apache2+php-fpm setup. Not all apache2+php users are using mod_php (which is where performance woes come from).

Yeah, we are using apache2+php-fpm. The application behind is Drupal, which is supported on apache2 only (mostly) unfortunately.

I guess from a higher perspective this is a support resource vs savings from technical performance question, but my feeling is that right now the lack of support knowledge and experience is more painful than the performance.
