You should really test it on static file serving, to make a true comparison.

mod_php and php-fpm are totally different beasts, you should post your fpm
config but take in account that in mod_php the php interpreter is embedded
in the webserver (questionable choice...) in fpm is run proxied via the
fastcgi protocol (can be a bit slower but gives you much more control and
security)
