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.
