This site feels ridiculously fast. I've noticed that with other compiled frameworks too, e.g. CppCMS: http://cppcms.com/wikipp/en/page/main

I wonder if it is just the lightweight HTML the websites use, or if there is really so much speed to gain from using a compiled language.

If one insists on writing a webapp in a C/C++ like language, D might be the sane way to do it.
