A billion front-end calculations to display a webpage sounds like a hell of a lot to me. If that is common, then you can only do 2 reqs/sec/core either threaded or evented. (point 1).

If the 500ms request is rare, then occasionally some requests will be delayed vs a threaded setup. Keep in mind, that V8 is about 1 order of magnitude faster than CPython/PHP.
