Memory should be a pretty big worry when it comes to drupel. I don't
know if and how much they suffer from it anymore, but back in the day
it use to have a real memory problem. Nginx would be good if it can
server PHP. Never actually tried that only used it as a proxy. It just
may be to much for the normal person that would be managing the site.
Since most people are just use to Apache.
