I use IOWA, under Webrick, rather than Rails under Solaris 7 - 9 and I 
haven't had any problems at all.  Webrick performance is excellent, though 
I will say that more memory is better.  Running on a Sunfire 880 with 4Gb 
of memory really makes Ruby and the webserver fly ;-).  Certainly a touch 
quicker than my development Ultra 10.
