Thanks for pointing it out, I gave me an excuse to look at the numbers: I took 4.6 seconds when I loaded it. In the breakdown ~4.3s of that was nginx dicking around (probably spending much of its time telling people it can't spawn an instance right now.) The lightweight nature of the page is obviously exposing the nginx overhead, which is turning out to be a bottleneck. Based on all that: with more complex pages, a more realistic limit on instances and similar resource utilization, I would expect it to be down right snappy.
