I measured nginx in real life :)On some server (~15k uniq hosts per day, ~ 100k pageviews, and with 1-3k concurrent tcp "established" connections ) with frontend(nginx) - backend (apache + phpfastcgi) architecture I turned off nginx proxing and server go away for a minute... apache forked to MaxClients (500) and took all memory.
Also nginx helped me protect from low-medium DDoS. When apache forked to maxclients, nginx could server many thousand concurrent connections. So I've wrote shell scripts to parse nginx logs and put IPs of bots to firewall table.
Therefore I find nginx (lighttpd also a good choose) enough efficient (at least for me). Off course you should understand what you expecting from nginx, what it can do and what can't.
If you want real world measurements or examples of using nginx on heavy loaded sites please to google. Also you could ask in the nginx at sysoev.ru mail list (EN).

Please tell me how much resources you should have for revers proxing with apache for example nearly 1k-2k unique clients ?What cpu load and memory usage will you have?
I think that apache is great software. It's very flexible and features rich, but it especially good as backend for dynamical applications (mod_php, mod_perl, etc.)If you need to serve many thousand concurrent connections you should look at nginx, lighttpd, squid, etc..IMHO.
