weather.com uses drupal7 + apache2 + ubuntu + angularjs, not sure why it is that slow, I use weather.com once a while just fine though.

It is only because of AngularJS + Ads.

This is a slow down caused by browser rendering/parsing/JS execution. I'm not sure what the server operating system would have to do with it.

Drupal can be a real PITA to properly set up with caching. If you're running anything above 10 req/s your server is going to melt without. Oh, and it's always worth a try to swap the default search for Elasticsearch, Solr or any other external engine.

That AngularJS is a slow piece of ... is another part. I coded up a simple Twitter client using Cordova with Angular, scrapped and rebuilt it in jQuery with Cordova (was a test if one can actually build a backendless Twitter app). Such speed, many awesome.

I guess many of the "hipster" JS devs use the latest, max-spec macbook/iphone only and totally ignore the rest of ordinary PCs/average Android phone, or they wouldn't dare to touch Angular and friends even with a pole.

Drupal 8 pretty much killed my love for drupal, I'm now switching to wordpress, though I miss drupal's book module in particular.
