\nFirst a graphic to show the change:
\n
\nThis is a capture out of cacti<\/a> showing the requests per second for some servers. Look at the yellow line, till about 12 it was running Apache 1.x, then I took that server out, around 12:30 I put in a lighttpd server on the same box and enabled stats from it around 13:00. This is on the same hardware, same files etc same IP address and you can clearly see in terms of requests per second lighttpd totally flies compared to Apache on the same box.
\nThe Apache is a stock Debian Apache 1.3.33, I could probably have sped it up by some tuning, but installing lighttpd is much less work and much less painstaking monitoring, tuning, monitoring, tuning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
