First note that the performance difference only affect using the web 
browser to view/restore backups, something you probably don't do that 
often, not the performance of the backups operations which happen 
separately.  Also, if you don't have any other web sites on the same 
server, you could simply set up backuppc to run with the same id as the 
web server.  I can't help with setting up another apache instance but 
usually it involves duplicating whatever the stock configuration does 
but using a different port number to avoid conflicts.
