The article has a point, but poorly told. The problem is the following. Consider the following workload:

- 1 request to http://server/fiboslow

- 1000 requests to http://servir/fast-response

The point is that node will not process any of those 1000 requests until 1st one is finished, while any multithreaded/multiprocess server will do just fine, and process those 1000 requests in parallel.

<smug note> It's funny that the same people that criticized Java for its AWT EDT as poorly designed, are not praising the same thing in Node.js ;)
