I'm a noob at this system admin stuff but according to my statistics I have gathered, nginx webserver uses 30-50% less of the load than apache. At first, I poured so much into learning Apache I didn't want to learn this weird obscure Russian alternative but I am sure glad I did. Under load testing, I can have double the amount of concurrent users without even causing my server to hiccup. When I was running wordpress and apache in AWS I had to use a costly m1-small instance to maintain the cpu and load needs of apache. When I made the switch to nginx I doubled the performance and was able to move to a free micro instance in AWS. In conclusion, moving to nginx saved me money and allowed my server to run more efficiently. I am a believer in this software. Hopefully, going commercial doesn't ruin it like money usually does.
