I don't think many node users say that.  Node is efficient and can serve a
lot of simultaneous connections.  A JS interpreter cannot compete with
efficient C++ code for hauling data.

Nginx and node are each fast for their own purposes.  Nginx is fast at
serving static data and node is fast at serving dynamic pages/data and
low-level connection-handling.  They go well together with nginx proxying
in front of node.  This is a common configuration.

Both are asynchronous-based with event loops.  Nginx is simpler to use for
simple serving than node is.  IMHO, nginx should replace apache web server.

However, I highly recommend letting some other service like S3 or
cloudfront serve video files.  It will save you headaches dealing with all
that data.
