@Thadeus For me, it was a breeze to switch from Apache to Cherokee. I was happy with Apache too, but I used the fact that a client wanted Cherokee as an opportunity to give it a try, and I am glad I did :) Besides, it is not like you would have to remove Apache to use Cherokee, so what are you waiting for (besides possibly a free hour), give it a try!
