I find it ironic that people will complain about milliseconds for a fork and talk about the time for context switches... and then serve their pages using an interpreted language that is an order of magnitude slower than it could be in a compiled language...

Who did that? I saw no one talking about interpreted languages here.

The comment immediately below the GP that claims that performance is relative literally says that you don't have to care about forking in Node.js.

Not defending node.js, but it is not interpreted but run with jit compilation.
