In my case (several 100mbit links) both performed almost equally well after described change. Probably if I had 1 or 10 gigabit link I could measure the difference. Also, don't forget that with lighty you don't only get raw speed/large number of connections, but also an ability to upgrade without patching kernels (that's even more important if you have other patches like grsecurity) and almost infinite configuration possibilities. Also lighttpd can't generate panics like TUX did in the past. Anonymous: yes, it gives real speedup if 1) PHP runs on the same box as lighttpd and 2) PHP processes are CPU-intensive.

Did you even try if modifying the priority gives any real speedup? Lighttpd will never be as fast as TUX because simply user-space is not kernel-space. If you want speed then use an integrated webserver/OS like SPIN... It outperforms TUX by a magnitude.
