  Not everyone can code. I don't know a dash of, say, perl, python, etc, I know only a tiny pinch of Java and a handful of C++. People who may want perl support in apache aren't always those who can program.

  Never criticize religion on Slashdot. You will be modded down for "Troll" no matter how factual it is.

For example, very excellent thttpd
Thttpd is good for some things, but don't think it's a full alternative to Apache. We use thttpd to serve http on ftp2.freebsd.org, and for something like this it is great, because speed is all we care about. On the other hand if verstatility is an issue, stick with Apache. It is not bloated and will perform really well if properly configured.
My personal take on tools that claim to be small, fast, secure and "better than what the rest of the world uses" is that you try them, then sooner or later end up switching back to the "old school" - I've done it with both qmail/sendmail and djbdns/bind...
