nginx was designed for linux/bsd, where it is built on top of epoll/kqueue which alows it to be as fast as it is. Windows does not have that, it has IOCP instead, but nginx does not support it yet. So it relies on select, which is much slower.<br>

I have only used nginx on Debian, and I must say it is very good. I just had a hard time getting used to the rewrite configuration. I have not had a chance to run nginx on Windows. But as for Linux, I would vouch for it anyday.<div>

Is there any particular reason that using IIS is better?<br>
Is it stability? Or functionality? I just need a small and fast server,<br>
preferably something that's also available on Linux. This way I'll<br>
just need one set of configuration for both platforms.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
