cakePHP Media Views vs Apache virtual() subrequest

Hi,

I am working on a cakePHP project, and like the functionality of
cakePHP Media Views.
http://book.cakephp.org/view/489/Media-Views

At issue, though, is that my customer is concerned about the
performance of downloading many files through PHP, and would rather I
use the PHP virtual() function to pass the file download process off
to an Apache subrequest. The intent, is that users will run wget
processes, to retrieve many large files.

Can anyone verify if cakePHP Media Views uses the PHP virtual()
function as well, or provide comparative performance data on using the
two options?

Thanks,
Martin
