The stats that you base that assertion on, are they publicly available or did you just make them up? ;)

Plucked from his arse.

I don't doubt that more people are talking about those things, and they'll be more used in certain types of companies, but it's a lot lower than he thinks.

Hey there Dr Smithmeister!

Adding the complexity of partial page loads to your website indicates that you're working on improving performance, suggesting to me that you'd be interested in a web server tuned more for performance than Apache.

Even if you've used it in the past, Nginx has improved a lot recently - it's got a whole bunch of in-depth documentation, plus some cool features that definitely make it better than Apache. Give it a spin and see what you think.

To get you started, here's an example of how your could implement those rewrite rules in Nginx...

But that'd be like helpful and stuff, and why on earth would anyone want that?!?

You seem to be operating under the mistaken assumptions than I am dismissing Nginx and that I prefer Apache.

I am not dismissing anything - they are both valid options (depending on the specific needs of their users), but neither of them is my web server of choice.

To be sure, I would accept a move to either in favour of the IIS I currently have to deal with, but given free reign... well, as it happens the one I'd go with appears to have both better performance and a smaller user base than Nginx.
