That's correct, but it doesn't help with this.

With a pre-fork MPM, you run a reverse proxy in front of your mod_perl
server to handle the static content.  With a threaded MPM, you can set
the number of interpreters lower than the number of apache threads, and
let the non-perl threads handle the static content.  Either way though,
you still need 5 interpreters to service 5 simultaneous requests for
dynamic content, and those 5 will take more memory with threads than
with processes.

In addition, perl built with threads is about 15% slower than perl built
without threads.  This affects you even if you never actually use the
threading.  That's why I build my own perl instead of using the one
packaged by Red Hat.
