thttpd is probably the most well known "simple" webserver, and is very, very fast[1].
In fact, I think the op needs to explicitly mention thttpd on the page for shortfin and provide a performance comparison, since that's all anyone really cares about ... "is it faster than thttpd ?"

- erikig 13y agoThe citation should include a caveat that the benchmarks are from 1998 and that they were ran on a Pentium 100Mhz.
- PommeDeTerre 13y agoThe notes very clearly state, "The benchmark test system is a 297MHz Ultra Sparc with 256MB RAM / 512MB swap running Solaris 2.6". What you're referring to is merely an observation about the actual capabilities of web servers in general at the time: "Most of these servers have enough oomph to keep a T1 saturated, running on a lowly 100MHz Pentium or maybe even a 486."
