I use Cherokee, it is another "lightweight" webserver similar to lighttp.

That'd be a good reason if it weren't for the fact Apache2 is broken. Or at least, horribly “heavy”.

I'm one to speak, though; I'm using Apache2. I'd be using nginx, but I have a few things that rely on Apache2 (or at least, that I can't be bothered to attempt to get working properly in nginx).

Honestly Apache is what I've worked with forever. I've tried other webservers, and even though you may think apache is "heavy." It's really not. It offers what functionality I need.

It was using something like 250-300mb of memory serving the default Apache & CentOS page only. That couldn't just be a misconfiguration surely?

Cherokee for me!
