I avoided offering much explanation in my previous response because, well ... I would feel uncomfortable doing so without a pint in my hand. :-)) All these are good servers for particular use cases. My use case for the lighttpd was an embedded system with a 266Mhz SoC and 32MB of RAM. I tried thttpd, lighttpd, apache and nginx on it. - lighttpd was heavier on memory usage, although not as bad as apache. - nginx was light, fast and full of features. - thttpd was very basic but got the job done with relatively low burden on resources. Slower than ligthttpd. - apache just about worked, but brought the little thing to its knees. Don't ask me for benchmarks please, because this was done some years ago. I went with nginx because it was faster and kept the CPU% and MEM% lowest among competitors. The task in hand was to serve some simple web pages with MRTG graphs on them. -- Regards, Mick
