Fwiw, microbenchmarks are not a good indicator of application perf in general. That said, nodejs is pretty fast. Also a memory hog, and doesn't support parallelization.

I always have a chuckle when JS fanatics talk about Java's "huge runtime" when Node and webapps use stupid amounts of ram. Java's memory efficiency is stellar in comparison.
