Thanks for the tip Bob. I’m assuming you’re referring to WEBrick High Performance. They’re using native sendfile() and fork() which speeds up static file requests, but AFAIK the http parsing is still done in Ruby. I’d be curious to know how that plays out performance wise.

I’ll take a look. I do like the fact that it simply fork()s instead of creating threads.

Mongrel leaks memory and starts a new thread for every request. Fast Webrick from robot coop is much faster and more stable

Hi Mayo, I read some posts of your and I enjoy your insights and knowledge. I particularly came across your recent article about FasCGI, SCGI and so on. I am a brazilian writer and I would like to exchange a few e-mails with you. Problem is, I don’t have your address. Would you mind e-mailing me? I would like to ask you a little help. My e-mail is fabioakita@gmail.com. Best Regards.

Mark,
thanks for posting a link to the interview. I’m glad you like Mongrel, and I’m glad you liked the interview. It should be the first of several.

Your “FastCGI, SCGI, and Apache: Background and Future” post taught me a lot about the grief that I was getting with FastCGI and like you I had been waiting for something exactly like Mongrel to come along…

Makes me happy too! Keep posting great posts Mark
