I tried a basic html page with some css styling and a few photos. I
hosted it on a VPS with SSD and it seemed to take way longer than it
should have to load the page.
nginx with the exact same page basically loaded instantly.
I tried to recompile the kernel to disable IPv6 because I recall having
network issues due to NetBSD trying to resolve IPv6 first before timing
out, but it didn't seem to change anything.
I don't know what it is about bozohttpd that caused this performance
issue, but switching to something else was just easier.

bozohttpd with a pure static (html + javascript) web page seems fine.
I know you very likely checked this, but did you have to wait for the
disk to spin up to retrieve the page? My external disk (holding the
web pages) needs to spin up before serving the static pages sometimes
(well, often).

I tried using bozohttpd last year but I was unable to get it to
function
properly. It always seemed extremely slow for no reason, on just a
basic
html page with some css.
I gave up using it and just switched to nginx instead.
YMMV
