So, I''ve deployed my first rails app, however I''m the only one hitting it for now. I''ve noticed that the first time I hit the app after some long period, it takes a really long time to respond (2-3 seconds). After that, it''s very fast. At first, I thought it might be my VPS "waking up" from some sleep state, but Rails does log the long load time

I''m NOT working on an enterprisey big time rails application; just something for my personal site. I''ve been deploying via local> git push origin master remote> git pull origin remote> sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart Trying to decide if this is sufficient, or if learning capistrano and setting that up will give me any advantages over this? Thanks, Dave
