It seems very similar to what's going on with Java these days. If your plan is to do bytecode verification and class-loading only once requests are coming in, and to handle the first however many requests with interpretive execution (prior to JIT), you shouldn't be surprised to see poor performance for those first requests. Now, ahead-of-time compilation in the JVM is becoming more mainstream, and brings the expected benefits to, for instance, start-up time.
