Nginx vs Cherokee

What is the best for 5-10K concurrent connections? Is someone using Cherokee for huge web applications? (I mean giants like Google, IBM etc.)

I personally tested 4 web servers (Apache 2.2, Cherokee 1.0.15, Lighttpd 1.4.26 and Nginx 0.7.65) and summarized results in this picture.

Cherokee vs other famous web servers
Same as above but different link address

For the simulation, I used two machines connected by an Ethernet cable. The server machine had a Pentium dual-core CPU T4300 2.10GHz with 4GB RAM, while the client machine used for stressing web servers bore a Pentium M processor 2GHz with 1GB RAM. Both stations had Gigabit Ethernet interface.

The command used to stress-test the web servers was ab and I created a small static file (100 bytes) to prevent network bandwidth bottleneck and to show the performance of web server software instead of the kernel.in

ab [-k] -n 10000 -c <concurrency_level> http://<server_IP>/100.html

Here, the -k option turns on keepalive, while -n 10000 generates 10,000 HTTP requests and -c sets how many concurrent requests are asked at a time to the target web server.
