I know

OJ: I know. I have read a bit about lighttpd, Litespeed and thttpd a while ago, but since this site evolved over time through different CMS and since I use a static cache, hotlink protection and a bunch of other neat rewrites, my .htaccess file is rather extensive (e.g. I have a whole lot of 301 and links still point to the originals back from the day's when this was a static site). Modrewrite for my CMS would have to be transfered to support a clean url structure + i think CPANEL requires Apache anyways, meaning I would have to switch all accounts to directadmin.
All of these problems combined make me not want to switch.
Besides, if I can push 100k visitors with apache, I think it should be fine.

Thanks for the suggestion though. If I were to start a complete new site and wouldn't have all that history I might switch, but I don't have the time to mess with web servers for weeks to get everything transfered, set up a test environment at home and check all sites that are on this server ...
