While the general performance of my Rails-Apps in Lighttpd/fcgi is very good, I recognize the interesting behaviour, that on an app which doesn''t get used all the time, there is a certain wakeup-time of the fcgi-process (3-5 seconds). After that everything is speedy again. I would like to reduce or eliminate this wakeup-time and would be happy if someone had a recommendation. Thanks a lot, Michael p.s.: The relevant parts of my lighttpd-configuration: "min-procs" => 5, "max-procs" => 5, "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "production" ) The dispatch.fcgi is the version from 0.13.1, with the following settings: RailsFCGIHandler.process! nil, 10
