Write an init page that requires all files > (not just the toplevel ones) that will be loaded. that means that mod_ruby and fcgi actually dont cache all the loaded classes? i thought exactly thats what it does. when i profile my ruby test, the execution via mod_ruby takes just about as long as the execution under cgi minus the time it takes to load the classes. so here it seems like really all the classes are cached.. however im still wondering why my heavy php app, where classes are not cached, no accelerator is used, etc is even a bit faster than a super simple ruby example where classes are cached..
