Rails - Apr 2006 - lighttpd fcgi and rails banchmarks

I have been testing various web development solutions on an unloaded 
Mandrake Opteron 150/1Gb box.

I am a little confused about my results on lighttpd with apachebench.
Results are requests per second, all test scripts simply output ''Hello,
World'' in plain text.

Static HTML 11488
FastCGI Perl   6350
C CGI             2015
Perl CGI            597
Ruby CGI          259
RoR FastCGI     180 <-- ??
RoR CGI             31 <-- !!

Does this look right, or should I be looking at problems with my config?
I expected Rails to have greater overhead since it is a full framework, but 
is this the best performance I can expect?

Were those figures taken with the app in development or production mode?
