Lots of moving parts. There has to be a better solution!

Depends on how the CGI is implemented. Not one for a Tomcat list :-).

Surprisingly fast, even for static content. Depending on your mix of static
and dynamic content, this may use less CPU than the combination of lighttpd and
mod_proxy as there are fewer moving parts per request.

Never used, so don't know!
Do the AJAX requests have to be served from the same port as the static
content, or can they come from a different port? If a different port is
acceptable, you might want to try using lighttpd on port 80 to serve the static
content, and Tomcat or another servlet engine on a different port (8080?) to
serve the AJAX requests. But check the benchmarks on Tomcat before you
introduce two pieces of software into the mix. You might be pleasantly
surprised!
