title: How does Node.js perform compared to Apache?
body: <p>Is Node.js quicker and more scalable than Apache? Are there any performance figures to back up Node.js's performance for a web application over Apache?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: Ok maybe my question (above) is confusing because I am a little confused as to how Node.js sits within a web stack. Under what circumstances should I consider using Node.js instead of a more traditional stack like PHP, MySQL and Apache - or does Node.js play it's part in this stack?</p>
