Well, that would have quite a big impact on what information are passed to
the *CGI. The option points the server whether it's executing the content of
a file (CGI, a PHP file through FastCGI) or it's just passing the requested
URL to a backend server (uWSGI, SCGI, FastCGI, etc) without even checking
whether the file exists. Imagine a Django/RoR app, for instance. In that
case you do not want the server to check any local file, simply because they
do not exist.

and in "Rule" -> "Check local file" enabled or not...  I would like to

I'm confused about this one. It depends on the rule. Most likely you want
keep it enabled, but I could not tell you for sure without knowing a little
more about the specific case.

Anyway, if you are worried about performance AND it's a production system
you aren't developing on AND you can spend a few hundled Mb of RAM on it,
I'd strongly recommend you to enable "I/O-cache". That will have a
very positive impact on the overall server performance.

Cheers!
