Recently, several web server projects have appeared, claiming to be tiny, ultra-fast or lightweight. This is a comparison between them and fnord.
| Name | static binary size | GET | CGI | keep-alive | virtual hosting | remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fnord | 13k/18k | yes | yes | yes | yes | the reference ;) |
| ghttpd | 37k | yes | GET only | no | yes | found a buffer overflow with the first grep |
| cherokee | 14k | yes | no | no | no | Two orders of magnitude slower than fnord on my laptop |
