I don't think that mod_ruby works with Apache 2.x (-> threading). I 
would use fastcgi. It seems to be faster, and the ruby interpreter is 
completely independent of the web server process. This has many 
advantages: the Apache processes need less memory, a crashing ruby 
interpreter can't kill a web server process, you don't introduce any 
memory leaks from Ruby/mod_ruby into Apache, and you can run the 
interpreters under different users for more security.
