Digging through the nginx code and testing, I found the apparent advantage for nginx was simply that it basically forces noatime as one of it's bugs.
iIn our testing, Apache beats nginx + Apache as long as you use noatime. Just as you'd expect from profiling either, the time is spent on io, so Apache by itself is just as fast as nginx by itself. Neither can magically make the disks faster. Alternatively, if you don't want noatime, nginx is a non-starter because it skips atime updates whether you like it or not.
