I'm asking why configure your web server to use RC4 at all if there are better algorithms to use. I'm under the assumption that people use RC4 because it's either less taxing on the web server, or more browsers support it.

These days, people who deliberately enable RC4 are doing it because they're concerned about the Lucky13 attack on TLS CBC. It's a rock/hard-place situation with a pair of TLS vulnerabilities that both require adoption of TLS 1.2 to decisively mitigate.
