It can be fairly fast for many use cases (specially because of async processing) and it was the basis one of the original scalable web servers that implemented multi-threading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOLserver

AOLServer was the one we were measuring ourselves against, see other responses.

You had a web server faster than AOLServer, and you went out of business.

Hm.

We did not went out of business, I have not written that anywhere.

In fact, the .NET re-rewrite was quite successful and many of the people involved on that team went on to create a very successful product based on the field lessons we had with the Tcl version.
