Subject: Performance of Ruby

Hi,

I am just thinking about programming a serverapplication with Ruby. The
application should manage a lot of sockets and should also be
multithreaded. One year ago I have tried to develop a similar application
with php. The performance was absolutely bad. No, that was not only my
fault ;) My question is now: What about the performance of ruby? Is it
possible to write an application using sockets and threads with ruby, but
also with a good performance? Normally I am using C/C++ for these things.
Sure, Ruby will not be as far as C/C++. But the php-scripts were very very
slow. Has anyone experiences with this?

Greetings

Michael
