Also, if Apache is configured well, using the Event MPM (or even the older Worker) and sane thread counts for the server it's running on, it's a lot faster than it used to be. I can't say how fast compared to Nginx because literally every comparison between the two I've seen has hamstrung Apache by using the ancient Prefork MPM (and I haven't done a rigorous comparison myself), but I expect it's at least on the same order of magnitude.
