Just for clarification, Go doesn't need a framework to run as a web app. In most cases, you will find built-in functionalities of Go is more than enough to achieve what you want / need.

Speed (as well as resource usage) is a limiting factor in more than once case. You might be building a serverless app and the amount of time your app takes to execute & finish, it will effect how much you will pay for each request (among other things such as resource usage). In some cases, if your app is slow enough to hit the limits, it might be a problem.

Even if your app is not a serverless app, you will pay more to server the same amount of users if your app is slow / uses more resources.
