Just for my curiosity, why do *you* have switch to nginx and where are your heard from this great webserver ;-)

I first heard of nginx about a year ago, while looking for reverse proxy options and 'light' servers to offload my mod_perl setup. i had problems with the documentation , so I chose lighttpd.

when i recommended lighttpd to a friend a few months ago, he was suspect because it once had bad problems proxying webdav. he tried it, got it working on a high traffic site, then discovered it had a giant leak.

i remembered nginx, and he ended up using that. i don't get much traffic, so the leak wasn't as pronounced on my servers. but when i was running low on memory, every MB matters. he kept raving about nginx so i switched.

I'll add something to the wiki once i get a chance
