Thttpd

Thttpd is a really small and very fast multiplexing webserver.

Why you want it

thttpd doesn't do PHP or anything even remotely fancy. It just servers static objects and it does a very good job of doing so without using a whole lot of resources.

If you need to offload your normal webserver for serving static parts of pages such as images, etc, then thttpd is much likely for you.
