like david already said, that requests can take up to one second using
cgi is totally normal. ruby has to parse tons of classes for every 
execution
with that. i have to admit that i was also surprised by that at first. 
especially
when you compare it to php. but then again most of the php libs are c..

anyways. i really never even thought that rails is slowing me down in
my development. i mean, i use unit tests for most of the stuff and just
every now and then i have to test the ui and controller via http 
requests.
works great!
