The reality is that, no, that is not possible. If a single core can render and return a web page in 16ms, what do you do when you have a million requests/sec?

The reality is most of those requests (now) get mixed in with a firehose of traffic, and could be served much faster than 16ms if that is all that was going on. But it’s never all that is going on.
