The problem with any web server benchmarks is they rarely show true real-world load patterns. Plenty show static content and because Cherokee can cache these, it's naturally pretty damned fast. Great! I'm glad but it doesn't show other important factors. I want to know if Django+SCGI+Cherokee is as fast as Django+ModWSGI+Apache. Same goes for PHP+FastCGI+Cherokee vs PHP+ModPHP+Apache. There are also a billion and five ways to tune the balls off Apache for various tests, which might be a little unfair... But so is leaving it as a stock install. The standard Ubuntu version of Apache isn't great for VPSes for example (the main reason I'm using Cherokee) but it can be pulled back to use less RAM. The same for Apache goes to Nginx. I remember when I saw the last set of Cherokee benchmarks, a NginX user was saying he could make it a lot faster than Cherokee. At the end of all this tweaking and arguing, we, the users, have no idea what to pick.
