hi
can someone tell me what the difference is, in functionality, speed etc.
between the tux (2.0?) webserver and khttpd? I'm working on a project
where all I need is raw speed - really raw speed - and I really don't know
which to choose.

tux holds all records, khttpd has been measured to be slower than some
userspace webservers.

What's bad about tux, then? There usually is something...

The main hurdle for Tux is that it is not in the mainstream kernel, and
consists of a patch. I think RedHat has precompiled kernels with Tux in
them. The aa kernels also contain tux.
There are also strong indications that 'zero copy tcp/ip' may enable
userspace webservers to achieve comparable bandwidths (many gbits/second).
See for example X15: http://www.chromium.com/x15tech.html

You had better refer a paper whose tile is High-Performance Memory-Based Web Servers: Kernel and User-Space Performance, by Philippe at IBM.T.J Watson
They also have experiments on performance between various kernel mode web server and user mode web server.
