Nearly all the performance reviews between the stock Apache and Nginx at their hype time were equal to compare Word vs Notepad. An Apache installed from distribution package (with their range of enabled modules) and an Nginx compiled from source without nothing. A vanilla and good built Apache it's perfectly fine for realworld use, at the same level than Nginx, because when you are close to the limits of this pieces of software, your scalability problems are in other place.
