As I understand for writev-backend lighttpd mmap()s file in 512K chunks
and writev()s them. You may try in nginx

   output_buffers   1  512k;  # default is "1 32k"

The output_buffers are used if sendfile is not used.

Also you may try to set 2 or 3 workers if it will increase bandwidth.

Note, that disabling sendfile in both nginx and ligthy may increase
bandwidth, but also ceratinly increases memory consumption at user- and
kernel-level that may leave to DOS. You should find compromisse.
