sounds great, but is Nodejs really becoming slower? Were they just using it wrong?

.NET Core does sound attractive to an old .NET dev like me (I really like C#) but I can't see that an apples to apples comparison across the board would result in such a wild difference for all applications, am I wrong?

Most of my apps spend the majority of the time waiting for persistent storage or network. I'd prefer to deploy on a 8-socket, 192-core, 12 TB RAM monster than to rewrite everything in C#. It'd probably be cheaper too.
