There is no secret, lighttpd is much more mature and noticeably faster (+30% - +60%) than Cherokee, at least when serving static content. On the other side Cherokee may scale better on multicpu / multicore machines and under some tests / conditions (just set thread_number to 5 or more). Here we are talking about tens of thousands of requests - responses per second, so I doubt you can notice big differences on an old machine with low or medium web traffic. In conclusion, even if netcraft statistics show an abyss between lighttpd and Cherokee, it's good to know that Cherokee is going to improve a lot in the next year. -- Nick Name: A.D.F.
