Please stop blaming the tools, companies, users, God, your neighbour, politicians, capitalism, or whatever else developers traditionally like to blame for low performance software. The truth is that developers are responsible for developing slow software. Nobody else. So if your code is slow, take responsibility for your own work and fix it! Learn how to make your code fast. Listen to developers who know how to write fast software (game developers for example). You might learn something. But most importantly pick architectures that are fast by design. Most popular architectures are not and never will be. A single modern server is unbelievably powerful and can do an enormous amount of work if you code it well.
