In simple words Node.js is ‘server-side JavaScript’
In not-so-simple words Node.js is a high- performance network applications framework, well optimized for high concurrent environments.
Meteor is ultra portable and the developer does not need to know about NodeJS at all. So when you are installing Meteor, it will download something called dev_bundle which has NodeJS and all the NPM modules needed by Meteor. All these modules are pre-compiled for your platform. That makes getting started with Meteor easier and quicker.
It’s a simple fact that the overhead incurred by having any framework makes it slower than a bare-metal web application.
