Poor performance in serving of static files

[Jürg Lehni]

Thanks again for everybody involved in the tracking down of this issue. I am very relieved to see that Nginx performs indeed at least as fast as Apache even under little load, and have now switched to using it on all my servers.

It's an impressive piece of beautiful software, and I am very happy to be able to switch to it now.

Best,

Jürg
