I looked at thttpd pretty closely about a year ago as a light webserver to
handle all static content for a site. It has an excellent reputation as
being very fast and very simple. No forking or threads... it's just built
around a select() call. The author has some good opinion pieces up
explaining why he did it this way.
According to Netcraft it is the 6th most popular webserver on the net,
right after Zeus. Not bad considering how under-hyped it is. I believe
it is public domain software.
