> the fastest ... purposely barebones

This piece of fiber cable is the fastest static web server.

It is purposely barebones, but I bet you, it does almost nothing to reduce the delivery of a static website. The trick is: The website is already in its final state when it gets piped through the fiber cable, so no processing is required. The templating and caching mechanism is left open for most flexibility.

I call it an OSI layer 1 web server.

The trick is to use fiber instead of copper.

Many webservers don't care about this.
