I just found out something, may be this sheds some light on the 
situation: I had "use epoll;" configured for nginx. If comment it out, 
the request/second increase by almost 50%. It's still worse than 
apache, but getting closer after all.

May also be useful: If I disable "sendfile", performance drops again. If 
I configure 4 instead of only 1 workers, performance also drops.
