If you are talking about some medium scale dynamic php/mysql websites  
compared to similar ruby/mysql sites running with mod_ruby and eruby  
to be the most similar setup to php then I have seen no drastic  
changes in server load using ruby over php. If you are talking about  
rails web sites then I think you will notice more server load then  
standalone php scripts. But rails is not more resource intensive than  
some of the better php frameworks.
