We use Azure, when you deploy it actually goes down, like proper down-down, timeout errors. Long periods of down-time.

That doesn't happen when I deploy on dedicated servers.

It really does depend on your setup and cloud guarantees nothing.

Also, 2.37s for parsing a HTML doc and then making it more readable is awfully slow, assuming it gets sent the HTML doc.

Do you mean if you do an in-place upgrade? or a VIP swap? A inplace should just go through the update domains so if you have your extra 20% provisioned as normal it should be fine and a VIP should be pretty quick and painless.

Do you mean Azure goes down or your application?
