MNPP - A high performance web server in a one-click installer

the Apache web server has lagged in terms of performance during the last few years. MNPP can handle much more requests per second than Apache with PHP implemented as a module.
Seriously, is there anyone deploying something that requires high simultaneous requests-per-second on OSX? One click install is great for the development environment, but none of these are one-click installs on a cheaply scalable, which means Linux on commodity hardware, production environment.
But the easier it's made to create a development that is like the production is going to be a big win. As a systems guy whose team is in charge of that kind of thing, the fewer hoops, and thus fewer workarounds, that are necessary to get a complex system with a lot of different parts up and running for the developers to develop against, the better.
