An anonymous reader writes "As the load on an application increases, the bottlenecks in the underlying infrastructure become more apparent in the form of slow response to user requests. This article discusses many of the server configuration items that can make or break an application's performance and focuses on steps you can take to optimize Apache and PHP."

    If you use separate processes for your static content and your PHP (either Apache with FastCGI or a reverse proxy), you won't have problems with memory. The size of an Apache process that's just serving static stuff is tiny. It's the PHP processes that take the RAM, and they will do the same when run from Lighttpd.
