Since we're yakking about this stuff, I thought I'd put in my thumbs-
up for poor lighttpd.
I've got a VPS over at Rimu with only 128MB. This means I have to be
quite conscious of memory usage. But at the moment it's serving
eight static sites and four Rails sites, with Postgres on the
backend. Admittedly, they're all very low volume; in fact, I've
slimmed it down so there's only one dispatch.fcgi running for each
Rails app. (The machine is also a full SMTP+IMAP mail server, which
actually uses more memory than I thought.)
I like the fact that I can run one instance of lighttpd and serve up
the whole thing. And that the configuration syntax and layout is
sane -- I've had way too many years of Apache (and NCSA httpd before
that) and am tired of its screaming hydra of XML-but-not-really
directives.
