B20 was 1988. So, probably the same relative performance level FaceBook would have running on a 386-25 PC and using dBase or something.....

But I wonder what kind of response we would
be getting running the same software on an old B20 (if it were possible)?

Not correct, IMHO. "Scalability" has virtually nothing to do with the
language.

If that's the case, then why did Facebook transform their PHP scripts to C, and
compile it? It seems to me that runtime efficiency (performance) is the first
key to scalability. If your applications require less CPU, then CPU is less
likely to be a bottleneck. The box will handle more work.

But is there more to scalability, than language efficiency?
