reverse proxy vs. stand-alone

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?

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