      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
