Despite the relentless attacks from people who have some sort of grudge against Apache, I'd remind any readers that Apache is the most used and trusted web server on the internet. It forms an integral part of the technology that the company I work for is built around, and performs extremely well for our usage, and I would thoroughly recommend it. Besides which, arguing about which web server is more efficient is a clear indicator that you are concentrating on the wrong areas. nginx or lighthttpd vs apache is meaningless when your the bottleneck will always be the python application and/or DB server.
