I am basing this on my recent benchmarking, with some results available
on this list under the thread "Apache httpd vs Tomcat static content
performance".

I'm not just talking out of my ass, here.

CentOS is just another GNU/Linux flavor. I doubt any optimizations are
made especially for it (or other Linux flavors), so I wouldn't worry too
much about the "APR developer for CentOS" having to do too much work to
get decent performance out of it. It's not like httpd is a dog on CentOS
or anything.
