Nginx and lighttpd have some pretty fervent fans who like to argue, so I won't get into taking too much about either of them, but I'll just tell you what we did after pretty extensive testing on a site doing 400 Mbps (120,000 GB / month).
Add "noatime" to /etc/fstab . This is very important.
In Apache, comment out the twenty or so modules you're not using, like mod_speling and mod_auth_group.
Enjoy a server that is as fast as your disks can spit out files, standards compliant, and doesn't have grotesque bugs from six years ago still not fixed.
