I avoided offering much explanation in my previous response because, well .= =2E.=20 I would feel uncomfortable doing so without a pint in my hand. :-)) All these are good servers for particular use cases. My use case for the=20 lighttpd was an embedded system with a 266Mhz SoC and 32MB of RAM. I tried= =20 thttpd, lighttpd, apache and nginx on it. =20 =2D lighttpd was heavier on memory usage, although not as bad as apache. =2D nginx was light, fast and full of features. =2D thttpd was very basic but got the job done with relatively low burden o= n=20 resources. Slower than ligthttpd. =2D apache just about worked, but brought the little thing to its knees. Don't ask me for benchmarks please, because this was done some years ago. = I=20 went with nginx because it was faster and kept the CPU% and MEM% lowest amo= ng=20 competitors. The task in hand was to serve some simple web pages with MRTG= =20 graphs on them. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart17726286.WqZ6bzKRG6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAABCAAGBQJVkC6fAAoJELAdA+zwE4YeIX4H/RkGyI01ARqs0aJ1/RA8IA4r i2iKUGfnf/WGMS5V/5L3sQIpXKpgCPTJsUwMwVrqiUEuqTkzCBXT6/IEJugxDsCy d9llLoWeRAsA2HXu9e3QX3oZtPfldqtmdcD9/sAPRtr9IXIpf6eq6FuWq5Abgj10 0q81kzyWePP1y8EXDm2hmBlAdTHER+65UKp9vwnzGOI5mGFWe+stTHFF37G9e2qz Fi9ALFLhixOcrDmH+eMJFnkJ8BKhpzoISsAvOBzJQAEydxBag1c4Lw24DtJyR8Wr nYv+YuqyI/saTiY7GeiJuh2YJRFbtEQyOCZcDfyNpRNXaObRGCkMbbclUxEbcuI= =GWe9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart17726286.WqZ6bzKRG6--
