If an application states Nginx...

#1
I have an application that lists this in its requirements:

Nginx (installed from passenger using passenger-install-nginx-module command)

So, I have been using Nginx for a couple years, but suffering from performance problems. I was previously told that I needed to pay someone to rewrite the code, but it is a complex application, and finding anyone able to work on it for code optimization at a price I can afford seems impossible. It is a Ruby application. I was talking to a developer friend who is using LiteSpeed (I used to use it years ago, but that was for PHP content), and he reminded me of LiteSpeed! I remember that it made a MASSIVE difference for me back then, and I was sort of kicking myself for not thinking of it sooner. But then I remembered this requirement, and started to wonder if it would even work or have a lot of problems. What do you all think? That above is the exact wording of the requirement, in case that might help shed some light on it. I am not sure why it would matter how it was installed, but it seems relevant. Thanks much in advance.
