http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/server.s

it's a 2-kilobyte executable written in i386 assembly that can handle 20000 requests per second on my laptop, but only serves up files from the filesystem; no cgi or reverse proxy

instead of being single-threaded or preforking it just forks a child per request
