It’s kind of crazy the number of http servers that are running on hudge these days. The count has been incremented by one as of an hour ago. The alpha revision RSS Reader and typo installation proving ground are now running on Mongrel (proxied through Apache2). Both seem faster to me, but I haven’t any congruent empirical evidence to further this belief. So, this is merely a legend spread by way of an old wive’s tale until the appropriate numbers are calculated.
