It uses it to send static content to client. Quote from Apache 2 docs:

"In situations where Apache 2.0 can ignore the contents of the file to 
be delivered -- for example, when serving static file content -- it 
normally uses the kernel sendfile support the file if the OS supports 
the |sendfile(2)| operation."

"On most platforms, using sendfile improves performance by eliminating 
separate read and send mechanics."
