Lighttpd vs thttpd Update3

I have been asked several times recently about my original comparison of Lighttpd and thttpd and subsequent benchmarks for Lighttpd vs thttpd.

I do not have updated benchmarks for these two. However, Lighttpd is still under active development with the latest release Lighttpd 1.4.16 dated 7/24/07. The most recent thttpd release has a newest file date of 6/29/05 (I couldn’t find an official release date for thttpd 2.25b). I would surmise that the performance for Lighttpd would only have increased as it is still under active development. Without a new release, thttpd’s performance surely hasn’t changed since my benchmark.
