Zeus is a fast webserver, but not the fastest. The fastest, especially for static pages is Tux.

Subject: Apache vs Zeus


It's all very well to compare the two in performance, but what about price?

It's almost sick how much Zeus costs. With the money you save on not buying Zeus, you could fund a poor programmer to build you a custom Linux box, save some whales (or is it dancing bears these days), get pissed at the local pub with a couple of mates, and have change left in the pocket.

Oh well - I'm sure someone is dumb enough to buy their product.
