Recently I started using Lighttpd (http://www.lighttpd.net) to serve FASTCGI applications, and was surprised to know that the Mason engine can also be placed inside a FASTCGI wrapper and served with this web server. Previously I had an old install using Apache 1.3.27, which I converted to Lighttpd 1.4.13 and have seen speed improvements of up to 400% when generating dynamic content.
What I really like is the simple no nonsense approach to configuration and the speed. Also the small footprint is a bonus: the server uses only ~700K of ram and each FASTCGI instance uses ~10M for my particular application (custom DB interface with image generation RRD based) making it very resource friendly specially with 'older' hardware. My users are much happier now because they have to wait less for pages to finish rendering with times reduced by at least half. Has anyone else tried this?
