Dr. Hipp tale is cool and so on. But his web server is a very small
native application. After a few requests, it's gonna be cached in
memory and will not be read from disk again. On the other hand, a Lua
web application will not have the same luck. The native launcher will
be cached in memory, but the Lua code has to be read from disk,
parsed, compiled and run every time the process starts anew.
