I did some benchmarks of aolserver vs lighthttpd on plain files of various sizes, on my 8cpu 64 bit server.

For 3 runs, with a 4k text file, the lighthttpd stats were 15103.87/ s, 14845.20/s and 15307.17/s, vs (as Dossy reports http://dossy.org/ archives/000517.html) aolserver's 15237.00/s.

Result: Aolserver is performing virtually identically to lighthttpd with a small 4k file.

With a 44k JPG (the BookMooch home page illustration) aolserver is slightly slower:
aolserver: 8164.54/s, 8283.93/s
lighthttpd: 10281.01/s, 9969.91/s

With 1,414k sized zip, aolserver is about 1/2 as fast:
aolserver: 406.36/s,  421.10/s
lighthttpd: 844.05/s,  807.83/s

with a 128mb file, aolserver is 40% slower:
aolserver: 5.42/s
lighthttpd: 8.88/s

And just FYI "hello world" in tcl (<% ns_adp_puts "hello" %>):
aolserver: 950.85/s

I haven't done a "hello world" in C: I assume it'd be close to the 16k/s speed
