Well. . . .

Yup. Google likes too much JS. They don't wan't any back-end pressure at all. They just dump everything to your browser to do all the work.

You can't expect less from an organization as big as google. They'll try by all means to reduce pressure on their servers. Talking about that, is there really a limit to what the typical Google Server can process

Doubt it tho.

Of-course. Lot's of limits. Massive

Estimates of the power required for over 450,000 servers range upwards of 20 megawatts, which cost on the order of US$2 million per month in electricity charges. The combined processing power of these servers might reach from 20 to 100 petaflops.[4]
Specifications:
In 2002; upwards of 15,000 servers[5] ranging from 533 MHz Intel Celeron to dual 1.4 GHz Intel Pentium III (as of 2003).
One or more 80 GB hard disks per server (2003)
2–4 GB of memory per machine (2004)
A 2005 estimate by Paul Strassmann has 200,000 servers,[6] while unspecified sources claimed this number to be upwards of 450,000 in 2006.[7]
~ 16 GB RAM, 2 TB disk space per machine (2009)[8]
