    What do you use?

    I just switched from apache to lighttpd and it's so much faster!

    I use Cherokee, it is another "lightweight" webserver similar to lighttp.

    Re: HTTPd

    That'd be a good reason if it weren't for the fact Apache2 is broken. Or at least, horribly “heavy”.

    I'm one to speak, though; I'm using Apache2. I'd be using nginx, but I have a few things that rely on Apache2 (or at least, that I can't be bothered to attempt to get working properly in nginx).

    Honestly Apache is what I've worked with forever. I've tried other webservers, and even though you may think apache is "heavy." It's really not. It offers what functionality I need.

    Re: HTTPd

    It was using something like 250-300mb of memory serving the default Apache & CentOS page only. That couldn't just be a misconfiguration surely?

    Cherokee for me!
    The physics is theoretical but the fun is real.

    Any particular reason for staying at 2.0? Just can't be bothered to upgrade?
