Varnish 2.0.1 in front of nginx proxying to 4 thin backends over unix
domain sockets.  This is over gigabit ethernet but the servers network
card is a via-velocity and the drivers aren't all that good, it keeps
spitting out

eth1: excessive work at interrupt.

This is pulling directly from the varnish cache so it should be pretty fast.
