Hello, I have just started using Ruby on Rails, and I have an important question about its performance. I guess it''s boring thing to you, and you heard such questions many times, but I''ll ask anyway :) Actually I set up RiR on Apache2+FastCGI. It''s just a basic setup, one controller and one action doing simple render_text "Hello World". I''ve tested it with Apache Benchmark, and got max. 24 requests/second. Its not very slow, but also not too fast. I wonder what Apache options should I tweak (I run mod_prefork) to make it run faster. I noticed that every time I restart Apache, there are only three dispatch.fcgi processess spawned. Can this affect the general performance of my apps? How can I change the number of spawned dispatchers? Maybe someone has any HOWTOs on that topic? I''d be quite happy if I could get at least 80-100 requests per second with simple Hello World. Its so basic app that I can''t imagine it running slower.. Ah, my hardware is Pentium Mobile 1.5GHz, 512 RAM. Best regards, K.
