I used to use mod_geoip but recently dumped Apache for Cherokee (which has its own GEOIP logic).
I can’t say I’ve had any performance problems with either but Cherokee is definitely easier to get set up.
Accuracy is pretty spot on but (obviously) neither cannot tell if somebody is browsing through a transparent proxy in another country.
