In my experience, the revision system in WordPress is not performant. The more revisions there are for a given page, the longer it takes to publish that page, eventually leading page publish requests to time out. I usually have to limit the number of per-page revisions to keep, to prevent that from happening.

Most Wordpress sites can go static (like using WP2Static), so the HTML online is always fast.
The performance bottleneck with regards to revisions is on write, rather than on read.
Only if you avoid common plugins that need some server-side interaction, for instance Gravity Forms.
(Probably _unless_ you use some custom rewrite rules, but then you're walking on less-trodden paths)
