Lighttpd with FastCGI

While looking into Django configuration I stumbled on a site that was proxying static content to lighttpd and running the dynamic stuff in apache modules.

Since the Virtualmin default way of doing things is to use FastCGI - and lighttpd has native support for this, would it not be better to use lighttpd as the web server for this or not?

Net result I have come to understand would be less system load and higher performance. Maybe increased security as well?

Just a thought :)

I'd be a willing guinea pig.
