Now I have a server that can handle at least 1800 connections per second (as much as my other VPS could query). The only thing that was tricky was setting it up to use a slightly less secure https mode so that my secure connections would take less CPU time. Well, and the fact that I'm using a slightly non-standard package of it that includes a bundled LuaJIT 2.0 and a bunch of other plug-ins.
On any recent Ubuntu install, getting the standard version on your system is as easy as: apt-get install nginx ...and setting it up is pretty straightforward as well. That said, this isn't an nginx forum, and so if you want to move forward with that, I'm happy to answer questions about what I've learned off-list, though the Nginx forums are pretty friendly and helpful as well. And keep in mind that I've only been using it for a couple of months, so I'm far from an expert.
