As Miguel pointed out, the comparision simply isn't applicable.

For example, I run a few small traffic sites on a single host running Lighttpd
out in from of Mono.Webserver.FastCGI; most people tend to run mod_mono behind
Apache.


To be honest, running a large site on Monp is no different than running it on
Perl, PHP or Python via mod_perl, mod_php5 or mod_python respectively. Most of
my experience is running with Apache/mod_python; Python itself is not the
fastest in the world but there are a number of techniques that are commonly used to 
scale $LANGUAGE behind Apache (load balancers, recycling Apache workers, etc)

I honestly think the primary reason to chose Mono for hosting sites is to have
better control and insight into the framework powering the site, rather than
licensing the stack from you know who.

That said, there's a large number of bigger fish to fry (read: data
model/layer) that cause scaling issues rather than just the framework/runtime.
