Repeat after me 100 times. The bottleneck is not the web server, it is
your application logic, use of caching and the database.
Chase the mythical fastest web server in the world, of which there are
many to choose from based on claims they all make, but you will be
wasting your time. If you want better performance, you are better off
focusing on addressing the performance problems your own application
and the database introduces.
So, just use whatever web server you have a tendency to like, that you
find easy to configure and maintain, and which you perceive as being
stable. After all, you don't want to have to tangle with the web
server, you will need all the time you have to make your own
application work better.
