Apache vs Lighttpd

Hey /prog/

can you give me a good reason where to use and not to use Lighttpd? and where does Apache or Lighttpd stand out?

i was using lighttpd for a while and then switched to apache 2.2. total CPU and memory usage on the server didn't change at all when i switched.
i haven't done any benchmarks, but i figure as long as the server can handle the load i don't need to worry about it.
the reason i switched is because lighttpd doesn't do .htaccess.
