as for an epiphany5, I was thinking, what about a 3d-mesh network, with north,south,east,west, and up and down? maybe a pin-out allowing for 6 elink connections? 12GB/s, 6 in and 6 out, that sounds quite interesting. well, maybe not for 64 cores, but 4096 cores based on a 16x16x16 grid sounds much more managable than a 64x64 network. maybe even give fpga access to 3 elink-connections instead of 1...
of course my ideas wont work: heat-management in 3d is much more complicated. and there simply is not enough space for 150% pins (so I guess epiphany and fpga need to talk spi to eachother). but at least I can dream.

I may have been a bit confused.

The Parallella isn't a 16 or 64 core wide SMP system - it's a two core ARM system with something akin to a 16 or 64 floating point co-processors. Each of these co-processors are a bit like a GPU shader, able to run a small program. This makes your question a bit like saying "I've put a high end GPU into my PC, will it make my web server super fast, or will I have a RAM bottleneck?"
So the answer is "No" - this board will serve pages like any other ARM board, that is unless you are using the Epiphany to accelerate the processing of data that you will be serving.
