That rather depends on what your app does, don't you think?  If your app has 
dynamic elements for each and every visitor, and runs large calculations on 
each page hit, it's possible to max out a small VPS with one client.  On the 
other hand, if you set up e.g. Varnish with full-page caching, and have a site 
that changes only once every few days, yes indeed you can support several 
dozens of concurrent users.  But either way, a single small server still won't 
be able to handle a full-on slashdotting.
