lighttpd for php content
Switched to lighttpd a month ago. So far, it's slightly faster than apache. As far as load is concerned, I haven't noticed much difference since we haven't put a huge load on it. The config file is very simple to do but porting apache rewrites is a pita. One thing I don't like about lighttpd is that once all the php process are busy it dishes out internal server error 500.
thttpd for images
We've been running thttpd for a long time and never bothered to switch to lighttpd for images. Load on the server is almost 0 running this.
apache for SSL
SSL in lighttpd is broken for Opera and there are a few regex that haven't been ported.
