You're thinking way too hard. As long as you have enough RAM, your operating system will cache data; so you don't need to do anything fancy at all. Set up whatever web server you like, in the default configuration, and measure its performance; odds are that you'll find that you don't need to tune anything at all.

Seconded; for extra performance enable sendfile().
