I've used both. In fact I'm using both. CERN is at least twice as fast, and has a lot more features. The only problem is that it's a little hairier to configure. This can be resolved by providing a decent sample configuration. Second, on why we want it... it's *not* to run as a web server. It's to provide a single interface to online documentation. You can point your lynx or netscape or mosaic to a file: url, but you can't do cgi that way. And it would be so cool to provide a cgi interface to man.
