If there were any web server > in the mainline kernel I'd think it'd be tux - Personally khttpd should be ripped from the kernel. It is a nice, uh, example. Or something. TUX touches enough code that it isn't a clear decision to merge, although it is certainly worth it. I, however, think we are rapidly approaching the point, if not there already, that with a zero-copy network driver userspace can perform as good as TUX with none of the downsides. That was part of Ingo's goal and a lot of the benefits - sendfile etc - are a result of TUX. Anyhow, if I recall correctly, X15 performed better than TUX.
