I believe Mongrel has native C code in there, but the gem package for 
win32 offers a precompiled version.

Curious to learn, though, about migrating WEBrick-based apps to Mongrel.

I've been developing on my WinXP laptop for about 6 months now, and 
prior that, a Win2K laptop.  I have a desktop PC, but sitting on the 
recliner or the beanbag chair is more comfy.

I've not had WEBrick issues on WinXP or Win2K, though I don't use Ruby 
1.8.4 much on Win2K. My Win2k desktop runs some background jobs,  and at 
least one (Catapult) is using WEBrick, but nothing too industrial.  And 
no MySQL + Ruby 1.8.4.
