lighttpd

We've been testing out lighttpd for over two months now in a production environment. I'm very happy with the results thus far. The performance is slightly better than Apache, but the configuration is much simpler. It amazes me how big and complex Apache's httpd server has become and I was glad to see that lighttpd was so simple. The stability has been there too, so I think eventually all of my web servers will be running lighttpd instead of Apache.

If you haven't heard of or tried lighttpd yet I highly recommend it.
