Thanks to everyone for taking your time in replying.

My question was asked my Igor: how about the FastCGI php processes? Would the difference be really that significant if nginx is serving all non-php requests? In which case, apache doesn't need many modules?

It's not the modules that make Apache bloat, it's the threads. On the site I mentioned, I removed almost every module I could. It didn't help.

I converted a Joomla site from Apache/mod_php to Nginx/FastCGI and went from constantly consuming the full 256MB (and crashing the VPS) to using only around 20MB of RAM.

@Cliff was your joomla site using nginx proxy before you converted to Nginx/FastCGI?
