Couldn't the html be loaded into memory at the beginning of the program and then served whenever? I understand the reading from disk will be slow, but that only happens once in the beginning.

There are plenty of sins people still commit and can commit when it comes to web development. Reading from disk is not the bottleneck. If site is slow most likely it's not the disk read times, database access or anything similar, but silly code that generates the page. It's almost always the code generating the page that's at fault.
