In my opnioni IRL that's not a big problem as it can seem.

Again: that's just how nginx and apache handle php/cgi/fcgi/scgi 
requests.
Wikipedia runs wikimedia software. Written in php. Running on 
apache with php-fpm (and cache!).

And I'm not suggesting to run wikipedia on serverino, *for now*.

If you try to open a lot of wikipedia pages at the same time in a 
burst, they will be served (probably using keep-alive connection) 
not in parallel: you're queued. And the 99.9% of users will never 
notice this. Is it a problem?

If you need much control, you can use an http accelerator and/or 
you can use a reverse proxy (like nginx) to control bursts et 
similia.

I'm running a whole website in D using fastcgi and we have no 
problem at all, it's blazing fast. But it's not so easy to setup 
as serverino :)
