"Node is nimble; for example, we advise our clients to kill & quickly restart when their applications enter an unexpected-error state. You can’t do this with a runtime that takes minutes to properly start and warm-up." Hmmm. I'm running tiddlywiki (node.js app) on an ARM, and it probably takes a good ~30 seconds to start up.. Not good for an application that weighs in at 20k lines of code, 3/4 of which isn't even javascript. Worse yet, it has noticeable delays during operation, including about a 15 second delay if it hasn't been accessed in a few hours. I might blame it on a big dataset, but frankly it has less than a 100 tiddlers, and everthing is hosted on a SSD. This on a machine that generally is quite responsive, and capable (although its about 1/5 as fast as my desktop in some benchmarks I ran). It sure doesn't take that long to start apache/php on the same machine and start serving pages.
