.NET can handle more than 7 million requests per second as of their .NET Core 2.2 back in 2019: ageofascent.com/2019/02/04/asp-net.... 8X faster than Node.js (at the time). .NET has seriously improved performance since then (as of .NET 6): https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r20&hw=ph&test=plaintext&a=2 (now more than 10X faster than Node.js). Interpreted languages will likely never be able to complete with compiled languages as far as performance goes.

Javascript is Just in Time compiled via V8 engine but yes, still .NET is faster. C# gets JIT compiled via .NET runtime by the way.
