I wonder if there might be an option in one of Apache's config files to turn LFS on/off. That might be worth looking into.
You wouldn't need to switch from using apache, just install lighttpd to run on another IP address alongside of apache. It shouldn't interfere at all. You would need to configure Apache not to listen to the IP that you allocate to lighttpd.
I like apache as well and use it for my hosting. Although, I have read some very good things about other linux web servers as well. Apache seems to be the most configurable, most compatible and has the most features - but there are some web server programs that can do some things much better than apache.
I'm not sure if this is about lighttpd or one of the others, but I read an article a few weeks back about how some company dropped their load from maxing out 3 servers with apache to using a single server for the same traffic levels with another program. But that was for a very specific purpose, I think it was either a very busy image hosting or downloads type website.
