    I saw that lighty has been moved back into the tree, which is great news.  As I understand it, using lighty will make captive portal really snappy but what are the other benefits we can expect to enjoy from the transition?

      Have you followed the mini_httpd bugs threads?  That alone makes it worth it.

      Other than that:

      • fast-cgi

      • additional caching

      • bsd license

      • output-compression

      • doesnt need to fork for every incoming connection
