Why is Xitami Fantastic?

Xitami is at least as fast as any other web server. It is based on the high-performance SMT multithreading technology developed by iMatix. SMT is free technology, available as source code.
Xitami is portable to 16-bit and 32-bit Windows, to OS/2, Linux, AIX, Digital UNIX, Sun Solaris, HP/UX, SCO Unix, FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSD/OS, SCO UnixWare, SGI Irix, and Digital OpenVMS. It uses the SFL portability library developed by iMatix. SFL is free technology, also available as source code.
