Is there a special configuration for static content like image files? I  
have no problem with nginx, and the reason that I am asking is to know  
if there is a different nginx conf to load static files faster.

Thanks Daniel! I run nginx (1.0.4 or 1.0.5) on different servers, but in  
general, they are based on Centos or Ubuntu running php via php-fpm.
