Anybody knows how asp.net/mono performance is on Linux ?
I mean, which server gives you the best performance/delivery time (Apache/Apache2, xsp2, lighthttp, nginx, other) ?
Since all asp.net goes via xsp2, I'd say xsp2 would certainly be fastest, but it's probably missing a lot of features, which lighthttp offers (e.g. mod_dosevasive, URL-rewriting, etc.).

The best combination I have found, currently using in production, is fastcgi-mono-server2 or fastcgi-mono-server4 using nginx. A good alternative, that also is known to perform better than apache is, lighttpd.
I use Ubuntu Server 11.10 for my web servers due to very good package support (and updated) packages for the required components needed for the job.
