My understanding is that Pleroma was first and foremost designed to have a small memory footprint for small instances. As an Elixir program running on the BEAM (Erlang) runtime it ought to scale a lot better, but serious work had to be put into that. Not sure it's running on any sites as big as the big Mastodon ones.
