For an independent assessment, see Web - Compare.

Apache has been shown to be substantially faster, more - stable, and more feature-full than many other web servers. - Although certain commercial servers have claimed to surpass - Apache's speed (it has not been demonstrated that any of - these "benchmarks" are a good way of measuring WWW server - speed at any rate), we feel that it is better to have a - mostly-fast free server than an extremely-fast server that - costs thousands of dollars. Apache is run on sites that get - millions of hits per day, and they have experienced no - performance difficulties.

Benchmarks tend to be a measure of configuration competance, + rather than of server quality. That is, if you're an expert in + IIS, you can probably get it to run faster than you can get + Apache to run. You can therefore find comparisions of various + HTTP servers that prove that each is faster than all the others. + We tend to take server performance benchmarks with a grain of + salt.
