Miss apachetop under nginx or lighttpd? You can use pv to get a quick-and-dirty readout for almost any daemon:
sudo tail -F /var/log/nginx/access.log | pv -lr >/dev/null [54.7/s ]
grep can naturally be used to filter the results.

Nice example of a quick and dirty hack. Came in handy to grab some quick numbers. Good stuff!
