Oh, I agree!  When I see .0035 second response times from a single processor 
midrange linux box for 9k pages with modest dynamic content (and no content 
caching), I am pleased.  This is also under lighttpd with a fastcgi transport 
layer.  Ruby makes me smile.  When I implement a caching dispatcher, 
cacheable pages will become blazingly fast.  At least in this sphere of work, 
as I said last week, Ruby is plenty fast.
