I tested this page because most of the site is too small to get meaningful comparisons:

http://nopedotc.com/gallery/facedetector

It is faster to load than a highly optimised page which is half the size running on a more conventional stack.

The initial DNS request was the biggest saving on time, though, weirdly enough, followed by the time to connect. I have no idea why this is, or how to minimise DNS request time in general.
