LightyTray- Lighttpd On The System Tray

Lighttpd-light And Fast

It is really a very light and fast current webserver. I have used it in my intranet and the best was it worked like a charm on a small machine.

What are the advantages of Lighttpd over Apache

Apache has the lions share of the market, but I still keep hearing about Lighttpd - the fact that Wikipedia is run off it and how its a better web server. What, specifically, is better about Lighttpd, and are there certain situations/scenarios where Lighttpd is better than Apache?
