Call me stupid. But maybe Apache shouldn't ship defaults that have poor performance ?

  Well stupid, Apache ships with the default settings it does for historical expectations of its users. But the application's tuning is driven largely by how you use it, as there are several workers for Apache that all are useful in different situations and require vastly different configuration options. This is to say nothing of the kernel options which also need to be tuned to the application. The defaults are just defaults. They need to be changed to improve performance.
