Using the mod_ruby gives web application more bags of tools that comes 
with Apache, just like the mod_php. And also, it is easier to manage 
since it is integrated with Apache.

Some have claimed that FastCGI is faster than mod_ruby, can anyone 
validate these claims? Because I can hardly believe that CGI is faster 
than the embedded interpreter.
