When it comes to scaling a web app, the language choice doesn't really matter. Most of the issues you will face are going to relate to how data is stored and retrieved, not how business logic is written.
It may not matter in the larger picture where other factors like database, network speed or capacity, etc. all take a piece of the pie but still, doesn't the fact that compiled languages perform way better than interpreted matter at all?
It does matter, just not to an extent that it usually offsets the cost of the additional development effort required. This is a different story in the embeded world for example, where the performance will impact margins far more.
