[Cherokee] Benchmarks of cherokee vs nginx

Using openvz hosting?  That is not even a real test.  There are so
many variables, tweaks and adjustments when using OpenVZ that you
could not possibly count on that bench mark even if you controlled the
server.  If you are using a hosting providers server, it makes it even
more nebulous because they will be using their own controls.  The
memory and processing units are not even for real memory.   With
OpenVZ you can tweak those at will.

The only way to get real benchmarks is on a real machine.
