Terrible analogy, especially when there exists a better one within the food service industry. How about rewriting that article from the perspective of a coffee shop?
We've all been to the neighborhood coffee place where the girl will take your order, turn around and make your entire drink, hand it to you and ask for payment. We've all stood in that line.
We've also all been to Starbucks, where the girl takes your order, writes it on a cup, takes your money, then moves on to the next customer. And by the time you walk to the other end of the counter the guy in front of you already has coffee in his hand.
It still doesn't fit web servers exactly, but at least it fits the real world.
