There's an interesting paper discussing the Flash server,
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~vivek/flash99/
and that research did a number of obvious, but also some not so obvious,
techniques to maximise performance. Apache is really quite a slow web
server, but it's highly flexible, and of course that's nice. I'd probably
still use Apache for dynamic content, but use one of the much faster web
servers for static content if I had a really heavily loaded site.

There are also techniques that can be explored such as putting the web
server into the kernel, and I believe some of the largest internet sites
exploit this.
