TechRepublic ran a short review of Xitami - mostly fluff but they had some stats
The article is at
http://www.techrepublic.com/article.jhtml?id=r00220011127ern01.htm&fromtm=e102-1&_requestid=77991
(I can send it to the list if you don't want to login)

But basically it had a much better performance the Apache/IIS - and most notably it 
was very strong on windows.  Antoher good point
is that it had a very low intial connection time.

Has anyone tried it?
I'd like to give it a shot
