We are doing performance testing for Rails site that will be going live soon
and probably see a fair amount of traffic.

We are currently using FCGI for deployment (though we may switch to SCGI
down the line as it matures).

I noticed the addition of a few FCGI related scripts to Rails, such as
reaper and spawner.

Has anyone used these? Any experiences to share?

Should I consider them mandatory if I am using FCGI for deployment?

Thanks.
