Argh !
By definition lighttpd and cherokee can't be compared fairly
because the first has a version of 1.4.16 (and soon 1.5.0)
whereas the second has not reached version 0.6.0 yet.
I expect that cherokee is somewhat slower than lighttpd
when there are many parallel connections
(it depends a lot on which OS you are running them,
which OS system calls are available, i.e. poll, epoll, kqueue,
sendfile, etc.).
Anyway I guess that an "almost" fair comparison could be performed
by using the same poll method, number of file descriptors
and number of threads / processes, etc., i.e.:
#
# Cherokee
#
server!max_fds = 1024
server!thread_number = 5
server!poll_method = "poll"
#
# Lighttpd
#
server.max-fds = 1024
server.max-worker = 5
server.event-handler = "poll"

Right now, official benchmarks don't specify test conditions,
so they should be redone in the right way;
anyway any serious benchmark
(done / repeated for each possibile combination of above main settings)
is time expensive because it should be performed on many OS
(i.e. FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux 2.4, Linux 2.6, Sun Solaris, etc.) too.
Alvaro could say something more on this.

Maybe should provide ... :-), Apache does not provide
official benchmarks.

Why don't you ask people who made benchmarks that included Cherokee
to repeat them with latest versions and to post an email
on Cherokee mailing lists ?
