Lighttpd vs. Apache with Static Content

I have been researching what web browser would be better to server static content Lighttpd or Apache HTTPD.

I used the same JavaScript and HTML combo MochiKit‘s hypnotic Colour Wheel. Both were tested with one hundred requests and one concurrency and one hundred requests and one hundred concurrencies. Lighttpd and Apache were both hosted on the same server but I tested both twenty minutes apart.

Apache did better with only one concurrency scoring 5.78 requests per second betting Lighttpd scoring 5.79 requests per seconds. But when one hundred concurrencies Apache only scored 34.50 requests per second and compared with Lighttpd 38.96 requests per second.

So with that information Lighttpd can handle more users per second than Apache.
