One of my more popular blog posts is exactly about how to "optimise" nginx for high traffic loads and the gist of it is pretty much "you can't really do much, but here's some minor stuff". I consider that a good thing though, a web server shouldn't really require config tweaking to perform well.

Definitely! Sane defaults and config readability is pretty much the main reason I recommend nginx.

I recall there being a good presentation by WhatsApp about optimizing not just the web server, but the OS (FreeBSD, in their case) to solve the C100K/C1M problem. It seemed that there was a lot more low-hanging fruit on the OS side than on the webserver side.

Could you provide a link for that blog post? I am not seeing it.
