Post: Speedup your LAMP stack with LigHTTPD

… does not eliminate all problems. Use FastCGI instead of mod_php etc. Apache itself without any programming language modules is light… applications. Use Reverse proxy in front. You may configure other Apache server to use as reverse proxy, you may also use Squid, Lighttpd, Nginx etc…

… Apache with threaded MPM as reverse proxy (and for static files) and Apache prefork MPM for serving PHP files. Big advantage of this… Apache has decent memory consumption and almost same performance as lighttpd with sendfile network module.
