I used it for quite some time. But: - Its configuration sucks. - Someday you might need to provide WebDAV access to SVN and then you need apache anyway - apaches mod_python is easy to setup and also rather fast ...

Seriously, check it out. Some people like to control their FastCGI applications independently of the server. You can use spawn-fcgi for this but the init script provided with lighttpd sucks. I wrote a much better one that can be repeatedly symlinked for each application you want. It is easy to setup and works really well but the bug report for it was brushed aside when the independent spawn-fcgi package was obsoleted in favour of the version included with lighttpd. I've since reopened it but it's not been looked at yet. )-: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149467 I left Apache for lighttpd a few months back and haven’t looked back since.

Its configuration is much more convenient and it work incredibly well with Trac. You should really try lighttpd. Its configuration is much more convenient and it work incredibly well with Trac.
