If we are wanting "to serve static files faster", then yes, Nginx would
do that for us[0]. I use Nginx for all of my personal application
deployments, and I've been extremely impressed with it's speed and ease
of configuration. However, it's WSGI support is a bit questionable, so
we would only want to use it as for serving static files & reverse
proxying. You can also configure it to hit memcached before apache,
which is pretty neat.
That is interesting though, does it just store entire html pages in
memcached?
