ago is when we received your request. Within this time we managed to create a new Xen instance, boot it, and run the application that rendered the page you are viewing. By the time you are done reading this, the instance will be gone. "
for a basic page like that is a bit slow...
I took 4.6 seconds when I loaded it. In the breakdown ~4.3s of that was nginx dicking around (probably spending much of its time telling people it can't spawn an instance right now.) The lightweight nature of the page is obviously exposing the nginx overhead, which is turning out to be a bottleneck. Based on all that: with more complex pages, a more realistic limit on instances and similar resource utilization, I would expect it to be down right snappy.
