Depends on your traffic patterns, the amount of CGIs you execute, and
how many processors your system has. Because of the way the threading
implementation works you may get slightly better response times with
more than one process.

Not really, is there anything specific you're wondering about?

Unfortunately I don't know of any at the moment, maybe someone else has
one that they can post.
