[Cherokee] Benchmarks of cherokee vs nginx

[Jędrzej Nowak]

Hmm

You can easy compress things in cherokee too. Just enable it in
cherokee-admin ;-)
For "gzip static" like behaviour you need to enable flcache (with
PURGE support for your config).

IOCache in cherokee is caching only plain files when you don't use
gzip... That's why.
