I believe that thttpd serves files via mmap, and my understanding is that it's very fast for serving static content (and free, although I don't offhand know what the licence is). Also Zeus is certainly fast for static content, but costs money. Whether it's sufficiently faster to pay for itself in machine and hosting space savings, I don't know.
