yes, the speed is mostly limited by network/disk; no, there is no improvement from writing entire thing in assembly (optimizing a few hot functions is a different story) I have not looked at this at this software in particular, but the few assembly web engines I have looked at in the past had worse performance that C versions due to making a much higher number of syscalls. For example, multiple send calls per response; lack of pool allocators; etc...
