The next release is a MAJOR step forward in the speed department for 
development. It used to be that Rails was pretty slow for development 
(~1 reg/sec), but then really fast in production.

Now with advances in library management, it's possible to use FCGI, 
mod_ruby, and cached WEBrick for development. This means that its MUCH, 
MUCH faster. Really a joy to work with. I can't wait to get 0.9 out 
with it.
