The accept filters do reduce service latency and probably have a small
benefit in CPU utilization.  50 requests/sec is probably enough to see
a benefit for something like PHP or PERL.  It definitely won't hurt, and
even if there's no measurable benefit now, it'll help prepare you for
scaling in the future.
