Nginx now includes proxy_cache. Haven't done any full benchmarks (micro-benchmarks like ab don't tell you much about real-world performance). But we replaced Squid anyway, just to simplify the stack. It "feels" faster, probably because of the reduced latency. http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpProxyModule#proxy_cache
Interesting. So with nginx we can no do basic load balancing, proxy caching, static serving and dynamic proxying. It's catching up with apache in features but with speed.
