I dunno. I will let Thomas answer this one.

2. Why wed this to Apache? By making it web-server agnostic, you open up the 
audience.


Because that is the fastest you can get (within 5-10% of the performance of serving static files).

However, MapCache also "produces a CGI/fastCGI executable for using with other webservers than apache"[1]. You just won't get the same performance.
