I don't understand why you're getting downvoted. If you're serving simple content, the bottleneck is going to be the network card or disk, every time. In this case, you have static content: a well-written web server (not nginx, but mongoose or similar) can easily handle enough requests to saturate a gigabit uplink on a first gen Raspberry Pi. Not that it has a gigabit uplink. But handling 100k req/s is trivial for a well-written server.
