The strategy guide mentions thttpd, khttpd and Boa. khttpd doesn't look to
be production quality yet (its website says that it can crash the kernel),
so that leaves thttpd and Boa.
Which one would be better to use? Here's what I know so far:
- Someone's reported thttpd using over 100 MB of memory, and suggested
to switch to Boa instead. (the message is in the thttpd mailing list
archives somewhere... February 2001 I think)
- thttpd's website shows benchmarks where thttpd handles 720 requests per
second, while Boa only handles 475.
- thttpd supports chroot and throttling. Boa does not.
