HTTP Accleration

[darkartz <darkartz@thedarknessis.mine.nu>]

Hi everyone.
this isn't a hardcore OpenBSD-specific problem, but is is my OS of choice and 
what i am using. 
i should explain what i am doing, and then the kinda of feedback I'm looking for.
I'm setting up webservices per the Apache Guide 3 server model
(really, 3 seperate server process on the same webserver, which then came be
moved to other boxes as necessary) in order to speed up the site
and make it more scalable.
I have Squid running in http accel. mode sitting on port80->
I have Apache/mod_perl sitting on another high port to service the dynamic requests.
I want to put a lightweight (as in, as small footprint as possible) secure, but SSL capable,
webserver to serve static content (images not in cache) as well as  provide the SSL front-end
for the mod_perl.

Mathopd looks good, or thttpd, but i can't find much information on SSL for them. 
will wrapping these daemons in stunnel going to be more costly than running a stripped down
apache with mod_ssl?
any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
