Yes I have. In fact my list included lighttpd, nginx and thttpd. thttpd was discarded because of the documentation didn’t look appealing . I finally chose lighttpd because the code to enable FastCGI/PHP in lighttpd was just a couple of lines in lighttpd.conf and in nginx it was several lines (http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxFcgiExample). Furthermore, nginx needed span-fcgi, a program included with lighttpd. So instead of installing lighttpd and nginx to use nginx, I used just lighttpd.
A practical soluction more than a technical one, as you can see

Hi, Have you looked at Nginx ( http://wiki.codemongers.com/Main ) ? If you're looking for something _very_ light, it could be interesting to investigate further in this direction :p
