“Apache is like Microsoft Word, it has a million options but you only need six. Nginx does those six things, and it does five of them 50 times faster than Apache.” –Chris Lea.
Why? No forking. No loading of unnecessary components. Fast CGI. And to prove it’s not as complex as you might think, he’s installing it live. The session has eight minutes left, can he do it?

Hi,
I’m trying to source Chris Lea’s statement for the WikiVS entry on Apache vs. Nginx, but I couldn’t find the original anywhere using Google search. Can you help?
