This blog now runs on apache + mod_fastcgi. I can feel the difference, especially given the fact that the hardware is not that powerful. I was curious aboud mod_fcgid, which claims to be better but compatible, but I'm not sure why exactly (I think something to do with better timing in spawning / killing cgi persistents processes).
I was willing to move to lighttpd as well, but it looks like it's more work than just installing and configuring mod_fastcgi for apache. By the way, you have to make sure that FCGI (the Perl module) is installed otherwise Movable Type will refuse to work.
