Why so complicated? Just put a single .htaccess in the fileadmin/ with all directives in it.

Number of fe_users alone says nothing at all. It will be a number of page views that matters. I have several .htaccesses on a TYPO3 web site, which gets half a million page views daily (according to Google Analytics, which does register every page view). No real difference in server load or speed (according to Apache logs) if I use .htaccess or Apache configuration.

This is real life experience with real figures that matter.

Do not believe everything that you read without thinking :) That Apache article was written ages ago, may be in the middle of 90th and it goes from version to version without change. But things change and a lot. I optimize web sites performance at least monthly. I do it for years now. So I know what I am talking about :)
