This is nice to see. I've ran lighttpd extensively in an embedded environment and for our application it's always performed like a champ due to its really tiny memory footprint. In an embedded environment most of the time the web server is just running a UI, so it's best that it stay out of the way and leave the RAM available for the main application. However in the case where we're doing inter-device communication via HTTP, I might reconsider nginx.
