This seems nicely done and its cool that its free but i dont buy the benefits. 1. People use MAMP or similar packages to set up local development enviroments, you dont run your production websites off of MAMP on a mac server. Given that usecase scenario, who in the world cares for Apaches performance or max requests per second ? 2. Using percona might be a noble idea, but has no real advantage over mysql. 3. Web developers today work with an increasing number of different technologies and its not a good idea to pollute your local machine with all the services and packages needed. Its much better to just use things like vagrant (or VMs in general) to resemble your production enviroment as close as possible without the need to fiddle around with maintaining dozens of packages on your local OSX install. Of course if you just want to play around with Wordpress locally this is fine, but so is MAMP. And even then id still recommend using vagrant.
