Cool, I'll have a look at it as soon as I have access again. Halving memory consumption per thread would go a long way, for serving tiles. I would love to move to lighty, however the t at h box has other services running on port 80, using apache. So I can't change that.

Thanks in any case, there is only 1 way to find out. Once the server runs stable (and I have access to it again), we'll try both and see how they perform.

I will be gone for the first 3 weeks in August, so things will have to happen before of after that.
