Sure, compiled code is faster than interpreted code. However, is that the typical bottleneck for web apps?

Hitting the database bottleneck seems to be the most painful scaling challenge, and compiled code doesn't really help you there.

I'd be curious to see how a limited number of IIS servers running compiled code compares in price to simply upping the number of dynos on Heroku.
