The other big advantadge is you don't have a mod_perl process tied up serving some guy on a 28.8 modem. i.e. if your mod_perl server has to send a 80kb forum page to someone on a 28.8 modem, you end up needing a lot more mod_perl processes (which use more memory).
If you use the proxied system, then the small regular httpd sends the page to the client, and the mod_perl process is freed up immediately to server another request. We typically run 5 or 6 mod_perl processes on Gossamer with 50-60 regular httpds.
