I don't know off the top of my head. But why ask me? Most of the websites on the internet today use Apache, and thus a pre-forked process model. Ask Amazon or Ticketmaster how they're doing under load, they're both Apache/mod_perl users last I heard.

Amazon and Ticketmaster are great success stories for mod_perl, no question about it. But, from what I know of the systems, their individual servers are not what I would call "really high performance". Nor, for that matter, are most of the web sites on the internet (sort of by definition).

To give some context, for me "really high performance" is the world from around 10000 qps and up. Come to my talk at YAPC or OSCON this summer and I'll be happy to talk about some of the techniques we use to build systems like this.

(To be really fair to Amazon and Ticketmaster, their applications are significantly more challenging to get crazy performance out of. Please don't take this as any criticism of them.)
