I'm quite happy with Spinner (see http://spinner.infovav.se/). It is
incredibly easy to configure (you don't hack around in configuration files
but have a nice configuration interface via your favourite WWW-Browser) and
has high performance. And it doesn't fork, so it causes a much smaller load
than most of the other servers.

The only problem is: it is still in beta. Although it is quite stable and
has usually all features you need, there are some problems with the finer
details. For instance if you use it as a proxy with cache, there is no way
to say "don't cache this domain." You should give it a try, though.
