Completely shameless plug here: My webserver[1] will outperform nginx for serving up static content like this. It has many optimizations, like not opening the file its serving (which reduces the latency of walking/interacting with the VFS layer); almost no runtime allocations on the heap (minimal stack frames and sizes as well) which can be completely disabled at the expense of logging; high performance logging which does not interfere with processing requests; the normal stuff in a fast webserver (sendfile, keep-alive, minimal code paths between reading the user request and delivering the first byte).
