Well, it isn't about the 140 characters. It is about Twitter JavaScript APIs that are used on thousands of websites and online blogs.

That's the Ruby on Rails they keep praising :P
Who the hell uses a ready framework on such huge system.

The javascript API fetches 140 character messages. i don't claim web programming knowledge, but some common sense.
PS: xcoder is right, such a huge website should use its own optimized framework, just the way facebook does it. RoR is general purpose.

Well, JavaScript APIs are one of the main reasons.

Facebook uses HipHop for PHP that transforms PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then compiles it with g++ to build binary files. They see about a 50% reduction in CPU usage when serving equal amounts of Web traffic when compared to Apache and PHP. And Facebook's API tier can serve twice the traffic using 30% less CPU.
