Summary

LIBRARY ab MB/sec ab pages/sec SSL LABS SCORE EASE WS? COMMENTS
apache A 3 N need to write a module, apache remains in charge of message loop (unacceptable)
libwebsockets 7 Y
proxygen 7 only easy on ubuntu 14.04; huge kitchen sink of helpers
Simple-Web-Server  B 10 Y websockets in a seperate compatible project; may be able to leverage asio to improve score (capped by RC4); no forward secrecy; needed to provide better CRT chain (that's on me)
websocketpp  uses asio, specifies a "modern" mode that only allows TSL1.2
mongoose 3 messy ton of hand-crafted portability C code scared me off
onion looks like a strong C lib
lib<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/">microhttpd</a> GNU c lib, not sure it supports modern algos, check score...
