Define "high performance" , what are your expectations in terms of = concurrent connections, requests/second and all ? Allow me to shed some measure of light here, we're running 16x web = servers with nginx doing *permanent* (as in, for all requests) URL = rewriting and serving 500 req/s each. These servers admittedly running debian are behind 4x freebsd boxes = using a combination of PF, CARP and relayd on 8.3-STABLE. The web servers deliver 200mb/second worth of *small* files (roughly 1kb = javascripts). They hardly ever reach 0.25 load average, on 8 cores + hyperthreading. What I'm getting at here is, nginx *totally rapes* performance-wise, at = least for our own needs. If it is able to deliver 500 req/s (for each server) of small files, = surely it can handle the load you're planning on throwing at it ?
